What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable cloud platforms where I can lead DevSecOps, automate compliance and remediation, strengthen engineering culture, and mentor growing technical teams.

At Brainy Codes Inc., I lead DevSecOps across AWS, Azure, and GCP, owning security tooling, automation frameworks, compliance readiness, and cloud reliability.

I design automated control-validation and evidence-collection pipelines with Python, Go, and API integrations, while embedding SAST, DAST, container scanning, secrets management, and policy gates into CI/CD. I also lead security architecture reviews, vulnerability remediation, SIEM alerting, centralized logging, and audit support for SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS, and enterprise GRC requirements.

Before leading DevSecOps, I architected full-stack applications at Brainy Codes using React.js, Node.js, TypeScript, REST, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. I build operational automation with Python, Go, Bash, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes.

I also teach cybersecurity and cloud computing at Pluralcode Institute, mentoring students through SOC labs, cloud VPNs, cloud storage projects, and certification preparation. I value secure coding, practical technical mentorship, and helping engineers grow alongside the systems they build.
