About This Project

This started as a personal study tool and grew into a full ADHD-friendly interactive textbook. The goal was to make AWS security concepts actually stick — through active recall, gamification, and spaced repetition — rather than passive reading.

I’m currently pursuing the AWS Security Specialty certification as part of building a career in cloud security and cybersecurity. This repo is part of my portfolio demonstrating both security domain knowledge and practical development skills.
