Cloud & DevSecOps

Computer Science Graduate (Distinction) · Cybersecurity Major · Ex-Registered Nurse

Five years keeping patients stable in surgery. Now keeping infrastructure stable in the cloud.

The Pivot

For five years, I worked as a Registered Nurse specialising in anaesthetics — reading vitals, following protocol, and making fast decisions where the cost of error is real. That background isn't a detour into tech. It's direct preparation for it.

Compliance under pressure, precision in high-stakes environments, and ownership when things go wrong — these translate directly to cybersecurity and infrastructure work, where the same instincts protect systems instead of patients.

I'm now a Computer Science graduate from RMIT University (Distinction, Cybersecurity major), building toward DevOps and cloud security roles — with Terraform, AWS, and secure-by-design infrastructure as my current focus.

Project — This Site

This site is the first project.

Every part of what you're looking at — the domain, the CDN, the certificate, the storage — is provisioned entirely through Terraform on AWS. No console clicking. The infrastructure is the portfolio piece, not just what it hosts.
