Biography
With a passion for demystifying cloud technologies, I design learning experiences that make cloud adoption more accessible, efficient, and aligned with real-world business goals.
I'm a Fellow of the Learning and Performance Institute (FLPI), recognizing my commitment to impactful, outcomes-driven learning. Over the years, I’ve authored three AWS certification books, including the AWS Certified Security – Specialty (SCS-C02) Exam Guide, and I continue to support learners at all stages of their cloud journey.
Having authored a library of 250+ courses reaching over 1 million learners, I remain focused on creating practical, hands-on content that makes a difference. I regularly speak, write, and coach on topics such as AWS architecture, security, certification prep, FinOps, and sustainable cloud practices.
