Hi, I'm Ash Cáceres Pagán 👋

B.S. Computer Science Student — University of Maryland Global Campus (Expected Spring 2026)

Certificate in Cloud Computing & Networking — UMGC (Conferred)
U.S. Army Veteran

About Me

I’m a Computer Science student at UMGC with a strong foundation in IT support, cloud computing, and software development. I’ve completed the AWS Cloud Institute Cloud Application Developer program and earned a UMGC Certificate in Cloud Computing & Networking, gaining hands-on experience building and supporting cloud-based applications.

I currently work at InnovaFlex Foundry as a Test Operator, where I troubleshoot technical systems, collaborate with engineers on quality and workflow issues, and apply structured documentation and version-control discipline in a production environment. Previously, I served in the U.S. Army as a PATRIOT system operator and maintainer, supporting mission-critical systems, supervising teams, and managing secure logistics operations.

I enjoy building practical tools, learning cloud-native design, and working across the boundary between systems, software, and infrastructure.
