Protecting cloud infrastructure, applications, and data. Security Architecture & Design Design secure cloud architectures following best practices (e.g., AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Security Benchmarks). Implement Identity & Access Management (IAM) policies and role-based access controls. Threat Detection & Prevention Monitor for suspicious activity using tools like AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender, GCP Security Command Center. Set up intrusion detection/prevention systems. Compliance & Risk Management Ensure compliance with regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS). Conduct regular risk assessments and vulnerability scans. Data Protection Implement encryption (at rest, in transit). Secure backup and disaster recovery strategies. Incident Response Develop and execute incident response playbooks. Investigate breaches or suspicious activities. Automation Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) with security baked in.
Continuous delivery, automation, and system reliability. CI/CD Pipeline Management Design, build, and maintain continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Automate testing and deployments using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD. Infrastructure Automation Provision and manage infrastructure using IaC (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation). Automate scaling and resource management in cloud environments. Monitoring & Reliability Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, CloudWatch). Work on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices for uptime. Collaboration & Integration Bridge the gap between development and operations teams. Ensure smooth software releases with minimal downtime. Cloud Management Deploy and manage applications in AWS, Azure, or GCP. Optimize cloud costs and performance. Security in DevOps ("DevSecOps") Integrate security scanning into CI/CD. Work closely with Cloud Security Engineers to enforce secure coding and deployment.
To design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable, and efficient cloud infrastructures that enable rapid delivery of applications without compromising security, compliance, or reliability. I strive to integrate security seamlessly into the DevOps lifecycle (“DevSecOps”), empowering teams to innovate faster while protecting data, systems, and users from evolving threats..
To lead in shaping a future where security and speed coexist, enabling organizations to confidently leverage cloud technologies for innovation and growth. My goal is to inspire a culture where security is not a barrier but a built-in, automated, and adaptive enabler of business agility and resilience.
I am a Cloud Security and DevOps Engineer with expertise in designing, securing, and automating cloud infrastructure. I specialize in implementing robust security controls, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code to ensure scalable, reliable, and compliant systems. My focus is on bridging security and operations to deliver efficient, secure, and high-performing cloud solutions.
