AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

December 2024

In December 2024, I earned my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CCP) certification, marking the first major milestone in my journey to becoming an AWS Solutions Architect Professional. The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is an entry-level certification designed to provide foundational knowledge of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and cloud computing principles. This certification covers a broad range of essential topics, including the core concepts of cloud infrastructure, AWS global architecture, security best practices, billing and pricing models, and key AWS services such as compute, storage, and networking. Achieving this credential has equipped me with a strong understanding of how cloud solutions are structured and delivered within AWS, laying the groundwork for advanced certifications and real-world applications.

As I continue to develop my expertise, I look forward to deepening my knowledge and progressing toward more specialized roles in AWS cloud architecture.

Young Investigators Award

November 2022

In November 2022, I received the prestigious Young Investigators Award in data, analytics, and digital sciences for my research on enhancing geosocial media analysis to support real-time decision-making for humanitarian needs.

My study utilized machine learning algorithms and natural language processing tools to improve the accuracy and speed of analyzing vast volumes of social media posts. This enabled the identification of critical patterns, trends, and location-based insights more efficiently.

The findings demonstrated the potential of AI-driven analytics to provide timely, actionable information, highlighting the role of data-driven solutions in addressing urgent humanitarian challenges.

Applied Data Science

August 2021

In August 2021, I earned my Certificate in Applied Data Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a rigorous program designed to provide practical, hands-on experience in data science and analytics. The curriculum was primarily rooted in Python, one of the most widely used programming languages for data science, enabling me to build strong technical foundations.

 

For my case study, I focused on developing a recommendation system, a vital tool widely used in e-commerce, entertainment platforms, and other industries. This project involved applying machine learning techniques to analyze user data and deliver personalized suggestions, showcasing my ability to solve real-world problems using data science methodologies. The program not only deepened my analytical and programming skills but also strengthened my capacity to translate data into actionable solutions.

“Continuous learning is a gift, and every opportunity to learn is a step towards growth, a privilege I cherish and embrace with gratitude.”
