About
Hi, My name is Abdullah Bello.
An IT Instructor and an aspiring Cloud Security Engineer
Welcome to my corner of the internet!
I am currently enrolled into the AWS Cloud programme with ALX AFRICA, gaining hands-on experience in designing secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solutions. With a background in Computer Science, I am passionate about building resilient architectures and integrating security from day one.
This blog is my digital brain dump: lessons learned, architectural patterns, project breakdowns, and the occasional “why won’t this work?” moment, shared openly as I grow.

Outside the Terminal
When I'm not building or securing systems, I'm probably playing chess.
