πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» About Me

I'm a final-year FIAE apprentice specializing in Cloud-Native Infrastructure with a growing focus on AI Security.

While many graduates focus primarily on application development, my passion lies in building and securing the underlying platforms. My goal is to become a Junior DevSecOps Engineer with solid expertise in Linux, Microsoft Azure, and infrastructure automation.

Currently: Building foundations in Linux, Networking & Security | ISCΒ² CC Certification in progress


πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

Current: Python Linux Bash Git SQL

Learning: Azure Docker Kubernetes Terraform

🎯 My Focus Areas

  • ☁️ Cloud-Native Infrastructure: Learning to build robust platforms on Microsoft Azure.
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Security-First Design: Adopting a DevSecOps mindset (Shift-Left) early in my career.
  • πŸ€– AI Infrastructure Ready: Understanding how to host and secure modern AI systems against emerging threats.
  • πŸš€ Production Mindset: Focusing on deployments, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) rather than just running code locally.

🌱 Learning Philosophy

"Build in Public, Learn by Doing"

My commitment:

  • πŸ“ Every learning module results in a practical GitHub project.
  • 🎯 Theory + Practice = Real understanding.
  • πŸ”„ Ship first, iterate later (Done is better than perfect).
  • 🌐 Document architectures thoroughly so others can learn from them.

πŸ“« Let's Connect

I'm always open to discussing DevSecOps, Azure cloud architecture, security practices, or collaborating on projects.
