Hey, I'm Matt! 👋

I'm a cloud security engineer who genuinely loves this stuff — AWS, IAM, threat modeling, and figuring out how to make things secure without making them miserable to use.

This blog is my notebook out loud: the misconfigs I run into, the war stories, the things I'm learning, and the breakdowns I wish existed when I was starting out. I try to write like a friend explaining it over coffee — no jargon walls, no fear-mongering, no doom.

If something here helps you out, that's the whole point. Really glad you're here.
