Hi Guys! My name is Dean Armada and I am your Cloud, Data Center and CyberSecurity Instructor.


My goal is to deliver easy to understand,  top quality and unique kind of online courses in Udemy. I am in the process of developing integrated courses, something that doesn't only focus on one brand or technology.
