I passed the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam<\/strong> on 6 November 2026!<\/p>\n

I already work with Linux deployments and cloud-based systems, so it\u2019s nice to add this alongside the practical work. The exam covers the foundations: cloud concepts, security, AWS services, and how pricing and support work.<\/p>\n

Pretty happy to have this one done. Adding it here alongside my projects and the WorldQuant Gold update from earlier this year.<\/p>\n
