Cloud and network support engineer in Kuala Lumpur. I'm completing the AWS re/Start program and I'm CompTIA Network+ certified. Currently studying for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (exam Aug 2026) and CompTIA Cloud+ (exam Sept 2026).
I'm still learning. I try to build real things rather than just follow labs. Most of my work is hands-on AWS, Linux and Python. Lately I've been getting into AI engineering by running my own Hermes agent on a VPS.
