About Clouding With Barden
Welcome to Clouding With Barden!
Hi, I’m Samuel Barden—the creator of this blog and a certified Atlassian and AWS expert with a passion for all things cloud and software. I’ve worked as a consultant for various companies across Europe and Africa, helping businesses optimize their workflows and build scalable solutions. My journey has taken me from Malta to South Africa, Ghana, and Nigeria, and each place has shaped my understanding of the tech world in unique ways.
