What is Ketelsen.co?

This is my personal website. It is an opportunity to build a simple website which uses AWS cloud technologies to host a static website. It is the first piece in understanding the puzzle that is the cloud.

Welcome to Ketelsen.co. This website is a hobby project. I am currently a Cybersecurity Professional and a Computer Science Tutor. Programming and Cybersecurity are passions for me. Prior to this, I was also a web designer for many years and it is, perhaps, a trip down memory lane to build and design a personal website.

Ketelsen.co has 2 main goals.

1. Learn Cloud Technologies by Building Stuff

This website is the first piece in understanding the puzzle that is the cloud. Building a static website using AWS S3 is one of the easiest introductions to using AWS to do something practical. The basic S3 website can be online in minutes, but it also integrates with many other AWS services. Using these services makes the S3 bucket website faster, more powerful, and more secure.

2. It is a Chance to Design a Website Again

After many years without using my design skills, it is nice to build a website again. As a Cybersecurity Professional, I don't often get an opportunity to build a website. This website provides me with a blank canvas on which to experiment with web building techniques and cloud technologies. As someone who spends a lot of time defending against the harmful effects of fake websites and threat actors, I understand the importance of transparent communication and honesty. If I can learn new ways to use cloud technologies securely, then the time spent building this website will be worth it.
