Hi Guys! My name is Dean Armada and I am your Cloud, Data Center and CyberSecurity Instructor.
My goal is to deliver easy to understand, top quality and unique kind of online courses in Udemy. I am in the process of developing integrated courses, something that doesn’t only focus on one brand or technology.
I am proud to be one of the few instructors in Udemy who records themselves during the course delivery. Whether I am presenting, whiteboarding or doing lab demonstration, you will always see me. I do this so that I will be more CONNECTED TO YOU.
I have a very diverse background in the field of IT. I was a programmer who became a Linux administrator, who became a network engineer, who became a security specialist, who became a tech manager who became a startup tech founder but training delivery will always be my passion!
If you have any questions about Cloud, Data Center, F5, Cisco or Automation and Orchestration, feel free to send me a message and I would be happy to assist.
