Computer Science Student · Cybersecurity
Hello! My name is Phatpicha Thatchakornkunlawat, but everyone calls me Tangmo. I am a Computer Science student concentrating in Data Science and Cybersecurity, with a particular interest in cybersecurity. I'm still exploring exactly where I fit best within the field, and I'm excited to keep learning and growing as I go.
My cybersecurity foundation is still at an early stage, built through coursework, CTF competitions, and hands-on labs — I've tried both red team and blue team roles and learned a great deal along the way. But when I discovered Cloud, it just clicked for me in a way that felt easier to grasp, and that's the direction I want to keep building on. I'm currently studying secure AWS architecture and preparing for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) exam.
In my free time, I like writing novels and drawing. Lately though, Cloud has kind of become a hobby too — I'll spend a weekend just studying, or scrolling through LinkedIn to see what other people in Cloud are building and working on. Seeing their work is honestly what keeps me motivated to keep learning.
