Event Summary & Narrative
Conducted a technical talk and live AWS Console demo as part of the AWS Universe series, co-presented with Roan Manansala. The session was designed for beginners entering the cloud — walking through the must-knows that every cloud professional needs before touching any AWS service: how to properly create and configure an account, why the root account should never be used for day-to-day operations, how to set up IAM users and least-privilege policies, and how to configure billing alerts and budget thresholds so learning stays cost-safe. The live demo format made abstract concepts tangible — attendees followed along in the AWS Console in real time, from zero to a secured, budget-guarded AWS environment. A hands-on session built on the principle that cloud fundamentals are best learned by doing, not watching.
