2016 Amazon Security Jam Winner

In 2016 I attended AWS Summit NY and competed in the annual security jam. In this contest you are paired with 5 randomly selected attendees and given a set of scenarios built in AWS to test your analytical and security knowledge. These scenarios are based on real world use cases and security breaches to test your ability as an AWS Expert. My team scored the most points by completing the most challenges in the time given. We debugged website and javascript vulnerabilities all the way through S3 and Lambda Integrations with VPC Load balancers. It's one of the highlights of my IT career and I look forward to the next time I am able to compete in a Jam.
