About Me

AWS Support Engineer | FinOps Enthusiast | Tech Enthusiast

My Story

Welcome to my digital space! I'm Nontokozo Mathe, an AWS Support Engineer with a passion for cloud computing and FinOps. My journey in technology has been anything but linear, demonstrating that career paths don't always follow our initial academic choices.

Born and raised in South Africa, I grew up with a curiosity about technology and its potential to transform lives. This curiosity led me to pursue a diploma in Information Technology at the Tshwane University of Technology. My academic background was focused on electronics and robotics through the Intelligent Industrial Systems stream. I studied assembly language, VHDL, and PLC ladder logic - a far cry from the cloud infrastructure work I'm passionate about today.

What Drives Me

Continuous Learning

My passion for continuous learning and challenging myself propels me forward in the rapidly evolving cloud technology landscape.

Persistance

My never-giving-up spirit and resilience keep me moving forward despite any obstacles I face

Beyond Cloud

Besides my profession, there's much more to who I am. When I'm not in front of a computer, you might find me:

  • Reading books on religion, technology, psychology, and science fiction
  • Exploring nature trails and enjoying outdoor adventures
  • Singing and discovering new music
  • Experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen
  • Finding value in the immersive exploration of different worlds and perspectives through cinema
