About Me

Amadu Kamara

Hi, I'm Amadu and I'm a Cloud Computing student with a passion for building secure, scalable infrastructure.

🎓I'm pursuing a B.S. in Cloud Computing at Western Governors University, along with an A.S. in Cybersecurity from Rio Salado College. My education combines hands-on labs with industry certifications.

👨🏾‍💻I have experience as an Equipment Technician at Tesla, maintaining robotic systems in high-volume production. Previously, I worked as an IT Support Specialist at Texas State University, resolving technical issues and managing Active Directory.

🚀I'm experienced in cloud infrastructure with AWS, networking, and security. Python and Bash are my go-to scripting languages, and I work with tools like Splunk, Wireshark, and Terraform.

🧠Beyond coursework, I actively sharpen my skills through TryHackMe labs, working through real-world security challenges and penetration testing scenarios. I believe true understanding comes from doing, not just reading.
