Learning Cloud Security from Scratch
How I approach cloud security as an AI and full-stack builder: threat models, identity, secrets, and practical hardening habits.
Cloud security is not a separate career track for builders — it is part of shipping safely.
I start with identity, least privilege, secrets handling, and attack surface reduction before touching fancy tooling.
Student projects get stronger when security requirements are written down early, not bolted on after a demo.
