Who is Jose Felix Cruz: Cloud Security Professional & Digital Marketer!
Hello, I’m Jose Felix Cruz! Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m a Navy veteran, leadership enthusiast, digital marketing expert, and emerging cloud security professional with a passion for helping individuals and businesses grow through strategic, data-driven approaches. My professional journey has been shaped by a diverse range of experiences, from serving in the military to mastering the nuances of the digital landscape and now exploring the critical field of cybersecurity.
My Journey
My journey began in the military, where I learned the importance of discipline, leadership, and teamwork. Serving in the United States Navy taught me not only how to lead under pressure but also how to communicate effectively with a diverse group of people. After transitioning from the military, I discovered a passion for digital marketing and web development, which has been my professional focus for over 16 years.
More recently, I’ve embarked on a new chapter in my career, pursuing expertise in cloud security. With a Bachelor’s in Cyber Security from Colorado Technical University (Magna Cum Laude) and ongoing studies toward my Master’s at Western Governors University (expected 2025-2026), I’m combining my marketing expertise with technical security knowledge to address the growing challenges at the intersection of business and cybersecurity.
What I Do
- Leadership & Communication: Drawing from my Navy experience, I understand the power of clear, effective communication in leadership. I share insights on how leaders can inspire and motivate their teams through authentic, transparent communication.
- Digital Marketing: I specialize in helping businesses grow through SEO, content marketing, and paid media strategies. My data-driven approach ensures that every campaign is optimized for maximum impact.
- Cloud Security: I implement security best practices using AWS services, focusing on secure infrastructure design, access controls, and defense-in-depth strategies. I help translate complex security concepts into actionable business solutions.
- Social Media Marketing: I help brands elevate their presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more. I believe in using social media as a tool to build authentic connections with audiences.
- Web Development: I design and develop websites that are not only visually appealing but also user-friendly, optimized for performance, and secure. I believe that a website is the digital storefront of any business, and I’m dedicated to making sure it leaves a lasting impression.
My Values
I believe in the power of integrity, hard work, and continuous learning. Whether I’m leading a team, working on a marketing campaign, or implementing security controls, these values guide everything I do. I’m committed to delivering high-quality work and building lasting relationships based on trust and mutual respect.
Additionally, I value creativity and innovation. Both the digital marketing landscape and cybersecurity field are constantly evolving, and I love staying ahead of the curve by learning the latest trends and technologies to better serve my clients.
My Vision
My vision is simple: to empower businesses and individuals to reach their full potential through effective leadership, smart digital strategies, and robust security practices. I aim to demystify both the digital marketing world and cybersecurity landscape, providing actionable insights that enable growth and security.
In the future, I hope to continue bridging the gap between business objectives and technical security requirements, expanding my knowledge in cloud security, and sharing what I learn with a broader audience. My goal is to inspire and support others on their journey to success, whether they’re building a business, growing their personal brand, developing leadership skills, or strengthening their security posture.
