But I’ve always been curious about what happens <em>behind the scenes</em> — where applications live, how they scale, and how businesses manage data and traffic. That curiosity led me to the cloud.</p> <p>This year, I joined the ALX Cloud Computing Program to learn AWS — the world’s most widely used cloud platform. It's already been a mindset shift. I'm not just building frontends anymore — I'm thinking in terms of architecture, automation, and scale.</p> <p>Here’s what I plan to do next:</p> <ul> <li>Deploy a personal website using S3 and Route 53</li> <li>Build serverless functions with AWS Lambda</li> <li>Launch a CI/CD pipeline for my projects</li> <li>Prepare for AWS Cloud Practitioner certification</li> </ul> <p>I’ll be sharing my progress here — the wins, the bugs, and everything in between. If you’re learning AWS too, let’s connect!</p> <blockquote> <p>Follow me on <a href="https://github.com/ikehvictor" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub</a> or <a href="https://linkedin.com/in/victor-ikeh-a6777112b" rel="noopener noreferrer">LinkedIn</a> and let’s build the cloud together.</p> </blockquote>
