Michael Cheung, DC

Hey everyone! I am a chiropractic techie.

What is that, you ask? I am a clinical chiropractor by trade, but have been diving into the world of cloud computing since COVID-19 hit.

I am passionate about finding out the root causes of issues, fixing them, and working on solutions to prevent them from happening again. In my current role, I have been utilizing my knowledge to help patients achieve their health goals though chiropractic manipulation and rehabilitative exercise.

I am now shifting my focus to becoming a cloud solutions architect by learning cloud services, tinkering with some front-end/back-end code, and automating as much of my life as possible to allow me to achieve this.

This resume website is my submission for the Cloud Resume Challenge. I also wrote a blog post documenting my experience, step by step.
