Anthony Cruz's project work
Welcome to My AWS Cloud Portfolio I'm an AWS Certified Cloud Engineer and IT Systems Administrator with a background in Computer Science and a passion for cloud infrastructure, automation, security, and continuous learning. This portfolio is more than a collection of technical projects. It's a reflection of how I think, approach challenges, solve problems, and grow as an engineer. Throughout this portfolio, you'll find hands-on AWS projects, architecture diagrams, screenshots, technical notes, personal observations, and lessons learned. I document not only what I've built, but also the reasoning behind my decisions, the obstacles I've encountered, and how I've worked through them. My goal is to demonstrate both my technical capabilities and my thought process because I believe understanding why something works is just as important as knowing how to build it. Every project represents an opportunity to learn, improve, and turn knowledge into practical solutions.
