ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Omani Reed — a Cloud Associate at Cloudforce with a passion for helping others build on Azure. With a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, my career began in advocacy and service. I worked as a non-injury auto claims adjuster at USAA, where I developed strong communication and analytical skills. At the same time, I served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), supporting the welfare of children in the foster care system. Although I originally pursued a path toward juvenile probation or detective work, I ultimately decided against becoming a police officer. Still, my passion for protecting others and making a meaningful impact remained—and that passion eventually led me to cybersecurity. Today, I’m a cloud and cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in infrastructure as code, Azure, and AI integration. I hold certifications including CompTIA CySA+, Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), and Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900). In my current role, I’ve contributed to the development and automation of QA test cases for a new AI platform, supporting the dev and QA teams through release cycles. I’ve also deployed AI agents, automated workflows, and continue to deepen my skills in cybersecurity and cloud technologies. My journey reflects a strong foundation in service, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a future-focused mindset at the intersection of cloud, security, and AI., and share my journey and insights on YouTube.
