Join Soft Reboot School
1. The Full Video School: Built for Busy Brains
I've stripped away the crap. These are easy to grasp, concise lessons designed for anyone who wants learning to feel simpler, calmer and way more human. I've worked with neurodivergent specialists to ensure complex Cloud Security concepts actually stick, especially for busy or 'non linear' brains.
2. The Career Roadmap: Strategy Over Hustle
A comprehensive, in depth roadmap that shows you exactly how to progress into cloud security without burnout. It breaks down realistic career paths, recommended certifications, and precisely what to study at each stage so you're not guessing or wasting time. Starting with the exact role you want and working backwards. This is about intentional progress and knowing why you're learning something, not just what.
3. The Interview Decoder: Think Like a Hiring Manager
I've been on both sides of the interview table. I'm giving you the insider's view of technical rounds translating what the interviewer is actually asking and how to demonstrate you actually understand what you're talking about. Basically, I want you to feel 100% ready when you get the interviews.
4. The Portfolio Creator: Build What Recruiters Actually Want to See
Stop wondering how and where to show your projects. I'll walk you through building a portfolio that proves you can do the work. You'll complete cloud security projects and learn how to document and present them in a way that hiring managers actually care about.
5. The Resource Vault: Everything You Need in One Place
No more hunting across 47 browser tabs. You get downloadable templates and toolkits that accompany every lesson, whether it's prep notes, IAM policy templates, interview question banks, or architecture diagrams. Everything is designed to be skimmed, printed, or referenced quickly when you need it. Think of it as your external hard drive for cloud security knowledge.

Cloud & Security ProfessionalI built Soft Reboot because I’m done with “cyber gurus” shouting about the hustle.
Eight years ago, I began my security journey, and it changed my life. It took me from feeling lost to becoming a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, but the road there was unnecessarily lonely and tough.
I’m dyslexic, and growing up I really struggled with traditional academic learning. Most tech education just didn’t work for how my brain works. Things only clicked once I found a clearer, more practical way to learn.
That’s exactly why I built Soft Reboot. I’ve worked with specialists to make it neurodivergent friendly, especially for ADHD and dyslexia, but it’s designed for anyone who wants learning to feel simpler, calmer, and more human.
I’m a content creator (still pondering that title), and the author behind TechOneTwenty and Cyber Notes, dedicated to being the guide I once needed. No gatekeeping. No crap.
Just a clear, practical path into cloud security.
You’ve got this. Let’s go.

I have learned a lot just from your TikTok posts but all this easy to read and understand content is just too good not to subscribe to. Keep up the good content!

As an Infrastructure Manager who has focused on People it has shocked me how far behind my knowledge and skillset has fallen. Your posts are interesting and the delivery makes it easier for me to understand. I am looking forward to get a better understanding.

I'm trying to break into cloud security (I'm more into web, AD. and network pentesting). I love how you visualize projects, it's what I do when I try to learn. I used to do this when building homelabs with vulnerable VMs. I did my Master's capstone in AD and Entra ID so now...
