About Me

I'm Ulysses, a Cloud Engineer at Cardinal Health based in Columbus, Ohio. I’m a certified AWS Solutions Architect. This website is my way of documenting the things I've learned about the Cloud. When off the grid, I enjoy riding my electric skateboard. I've surfed, snowboarded and played saxophone in the past. I hope you find this site helpful. It's powered by WordPress and hosted in AWS.
