I am Andrew Blaser, Aspiring Solutions Architect, and current Help Desk Analyst.
Cloud Architecture and Infrastructure is the future of IT and I am diving myself deep into cloud with no option to be average at my future job.
Certifications and Awards That I Have Won
I firmly believe in always striving to better yourself. With that being said I am constantly working on new certifications and projects. Currently I am studying for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate. This will be my next certification I pass and add to this list.
While studying for this certification I learned about core AWS services and use cases, billing and pricing models, security concepts, and how the cloud impacts businesses. I learned what requirements need to be met as well for best-practiced cloud architecture.
Learned about risk management and risk mitigation, including more emphasis on the practical and hands-on ability to both identify and address security threats, attacks and vulnerabilities.
While I was apart of Sigma Chi Fraternity my Freshman year of college I was elected as the philanthropy chairman. It was my responsibility for organizing philanthropic events for us to give back to our community.
I was awarded a scholarship from a family at my high school that saw big potential in an individual. I was selected out of twenty candidates and now I get to sit on the board yearly to choose the next winners of this scholarship.
