Nicolas Tilkin

Professional development @ Career Break
Brussels, Belgium

After several years in IT support, I am transitioning to a career as a Cloud Security Engineer. To make this shift, I left my job to study full-time, combining this career change with a personal project: traveling through Thailand & Vietnam. I am balancing my time between learning Cloud Engineering and exploring the places I visit.
