About Carl Ballenger
Hi, I'm Carl! Thanks for reading and your interest!
I’m an IT specialist with over 20+ years of experience traversing the IT landscape—from my early IT days as a full-stack PHP and MySQL developer to the last decade or so managing and securing large-scale federal on premises and cloud infrastructure.
My expertise lies in data governance, risk management, and rigorous FedRAMP/NIST control alignments. I created CarlsCloud.com to share that knowledge, tackling tough challenges in cloud security architecture and security controls planning. When I step away from the keyboard, I'm usually out playing golf or enjoying a nice run outside.
If CarlsCloud.com has helped you navigate, solve, or assisted you in preparation for your next IT certification (e.g. CISSP/CCSP) consider supporting the work.
Even a quick email to say hello goes a long way and is motivating for me!
Take care of yourself and your family and thanks again!
Regards,
