CLOUD SECURITY SCHOOL
No shouting, no hustle culture.Start, Learn and Reboot your career in Cloud Security with projects you can do at home.
What is Tech Two Forty?
The question I get asked the most? "Do you have a video course?"
Now I do. Introducing Tech Two Forty.
I've stripped away the crap. These are easy to grasp, concise lessons designed for anyone who wants learning to feel simpler, calmer, and way more human.
I've worked with neurodivergent specialists to ensure complex Cloud Security concepts actually stick, especially for busy or 'non-linear' brains.

Cloud & Security ProfessionalI built Tech Two Forty because I’m done with “cyber gurus” shouting about the hustle.
Eight years ago, I began my security journey, and it changed my life. It took me from feeling lost to becoming a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, but the road there was unnecessarily lonely and tough.
I’m dyslexic, and growing up I really struggled with traditional academic learning. Most tech education just didn’t work for how my brain works. Things only clicked once I found a clearer, more practical way to learn.
That’s exactly why I built Tech Two Forty. I’ve worked with specialists to make it neurodivergent friendly, especially for ADHD and dyslexia, but it’s designed for anyone who wants learning to feel simpler, calmer, and more human.
I’m a content creator (still pondering that title), and the author behind TechOneTwenty and Cyber Notes, dedicated to being the guide I once needed. No gatekeeping. No crap.
Just a clear, practical path into cloud security.
You’ve got this. Let’s go.

I'm trying to break into cloud security (I'm more into web, AD. and network pentesting). I love how you visualize projects, it's what I do when I try to learn. I used to do this when building homelabs with vulnerable VMs. I did my Master's capstone in AD and Entra ID so now...
