About Me
Hello I'm Jason.
I worked as a contractor for 8 years at Home Depot. I managed projects ranging from 10k to 120k. During the pandemic, my business went under, and I pivoted to finance. I now work at a trading company recently sold for 1.8 million.
My passion is technology. Now, I spend my time learning and working on projects to build my portfolio. My career has been about solving problems, and that journey continues.
Now I spend all my time learning Cloud technologies, with a keen interest in Security, and Multi-Cloud Infrastructure and hosting huge apps on the cloud. I spend all my time with hands on labs, creating projects, and sequentially mastering the craft.
