A wise Architect with 25+ years of experience told me if I learn Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Bash, Networking, etc I can adapt in any cloud platform.

Made it to round 2 for the Cybersecurity Engineer position. 😳

The last 3 years I have been a generalist and have worked with: SQL Server PostgreSQL Power Bi Tableau Windows Server Active Directory InTune Microsoft Suite Google Suite Entra ID Azure AWS Azure Databricks Azure Data Factory Confluence Cisco UniFi FiveTran

I doubled down on Azure and the opportunities been flowing ever since. This is only the beginning.

Every now and then it dawns on me that I am an Engineer.

Bet on yourself

You will be amazed at what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself and stay consistent.

My Wife 😍

I completed all my critical goals for the year. Any thing from this point is extra. Time to plan for 2026.

Life is more fun when you challenge yourself. When I’m in the gym I push till failure. That practice gave me the mindset I needed in everything else that I’m pursuing.

✅ Officially Oracle Certified 🎉

✅ 2x Azure Certified ✅ 1x AWS certified ✅ 1x Oracle Certified AZ-305 up next. I’m still locked in 😎

First Fortinet certification completed ✅🎉 S/O to TheDataBunny for all the Fortinet content and motivation!

New month begins tomorrow. My goal for August is to double down on Cloud Native projects, continue going hard in the gym, go on more dates with my Wife, spend more time with God and working on myself. Cutting out distractions and getting more focused.

I am the only Cloud Engineer at my job. Because of this I gain experience not only in designing and deploying cloud infrastructure, but also securing it. I am designing the blue print for the company as they expand and eventually grow the team. Big tasks, but exciting too.

Learn Azure and learn it well 🔥

I made it to the final round for the Cybersecurity Engineer position. Banging out that Fortinet certification helped push me forward. Now I wait and see…!
