Sedou Futoh

Cloud Enthusiast & AWS Cloud Practitioner Candidate

Building hands-on cloud expertise on AWS — deploying real infrastructure, earning certifications, and growing toward a career in cloud computing.

My Cloud Journey

I am a driven professional based in Canada who made a deliberate decision to build a career in cloud computing. Drawn to the scale, impact, and opportunity that cloud infrastructure offers, I have been investing deeply in AWS — studying the core services, understanding cloud architecture principles, and building real projects to turn knowledge into practical skill. I believe that the best way to learn cloud is to build on it, which is why every concept I study, I deploy. This portfolio is a living record of that journey.

What I'm Focused On

Earning my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification and building hands-on projects that demonstrate real cloud architecture — not just theory.

Where I'm Headed

A cloud-focused role where I can grow from practitioner to solutions architect, contributing to teams that build and operate AWS infrastructure at scale.

Cloud Portfolio Website

LIVE

Designed and deployed this portfolio website entirely on AWS. The site is stored in Amazon S3, served globally through a CloudFront CDN with edge caching, secured with a free TLS certificate via AWS Certificate Manager, and accessible via a custom domain managed in Route 53. IAM policies control access between services following the principle of least privilege.
