Hi, I'm Hussain Ashfaque ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm an IT Analyst actively transitioning into Cloud Engineering, holding an AWS Certified Solutions Architect โ€“ Associate certification with 4+ years of experience in IT systems and cloud automation.

My work sits at the intersection of technical depth and creative thinking โ€” I build secure, scalable AWS environments that simplify operations, and I bring that same attention to craft to landscape photography.

Based in San Francisco and working at the University of California Office of the President, I spend my evenings and weekends building cloud projects, writing Terraform, and chasing light with a camera.
