About Me
Cybersecurity Student · BYU-Idaho
Rexburg, ID ·
I'm Nigel, experienced in both customer service and hands-on IT development. I've worked on deploying production apps in AWS and I have built full-stack web applications maintained with CI/CD pipelines.
I'm looking for a job in a DevOps or cloud role with emphasis on security.
