Hi, my name is Mohamed.
I am a technology consultant, occasional writer, and fervent advocate of all things tech.
As cliche as it sounds, I’ve always been interested in technology since a young age, and believed that no matter what I did with my career, I’d probably find myself working within a technology company in some sort of capacity (which ended up becoming true!).
In my personal life, I’m a hobbyist photographer, avid gamer, and enjoy keeping active whenever possible.
2024 will be our year. Here’s what I’m doing.
In 2023…
Completing the AWS CCP certification this year as well as witnessing the rise of generative AI sparked a newfound passion for both technologies. Recognizing the potential benefits for global businesses, I decided to become 2x AWS certified by pursuing and achieving the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification, while simultaneously dedicating time to generative AI training to enhance my proficiency in these transformative technologies.
In 2024…
I am now immersed in a transformative journey toward becoming a Solutions Architect. My current plan is to now pursue the AWS Solutions Architect Professional while pursuing hands-on experience. Doing this will help me to leverage the lessons learned to further solidify my knowledge of the cloud. I’ll achieve this through taking on new projects while also building personal cloud projects outside of work.
