About Abdullah Bello

Hello, I am Abdullah Bello.

IT Instructor | Cloud Engineer | SecOps Specialist

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

I am a Cloud Engineer and IT Instructor currently specializing in AWS Cloud Architecture. My work focuses on designing secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solutions. With a strong foundation in Computer Science, I am passionate about building resilient architectures and integrating security from day one.

This blog serves as my digital brain dump: lessons learned, architectural patterns, project breakdowns, and the occasional “why won’t this work?” moment, shared openly as I build.

My Philosophy

"Secure from day one. Document everything. And when it breaks? Fix it, blog it, move on."

Outside the Terminal

When I'm not building or securing systems, I'm likely playing chess.
