Casey Dean Portrait
👋

Hello, I'm Casey. I'm an innovation-focused consultant and former entrepreneur transitioning into AWS Solutions Architecture. I bring hands-on experience in cloud-native platforms, technical solutions, and driving impact through data and automation.

About me

After graduating with a degree in Entrepreneurship, I decided to pursue my passion for Innovation and Solutions Architecture. I have since been obsessed with AWS and have learned all of its core components. My favorite part of cloud computing is dreaming up new and novel ways to build. I love the feeling of creating something new and introducing it to the world!. The core services I know are the ones offered in certifications up to AWS Solutions Architect (Associate) as well as many of the AI/ML modules like Bedrock, Kendra, Polly, and Rekognition. I am also familiar with Cursor, Snowflake, Datadog, and many other tools. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for a full-time position as an AWS Solutions Architect.

When I'm not dreaming up new ways to configure new use cases, I enjoy jiu jitsu, video games, long distance backpacking, and playing with my dog. I also enjoy volunteering with inner city shelters, especially with bully breeds.. I am currently learning and am excited about using my newfound skills to create chatbots that replicate human conversations.. I'm also learning how to build front end applications with React and Next.js like this portfolio!
