What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building automated, compliant multi-cloud security platforms that integrate DevSecOps, infrastructure-as-code, and incident automation while collaborating with engineering teams.

I am a Senior Cloud Security Engineer with over 8 years of experience designing, implementing, and automating secure, compliant infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I focus on scaling security without slowing innovation by integrating CSPM, IaC, and CI/CD controls.

My work includes deploying CSPM solutions (Prisma Cloud, Wiz), embedding SAST/DAST into pipelines, and building reusable Terraform modules adopted across teams. I deliver measurable improvements — reducing incident response times by 70% and misconfigurations by up to 45%.

I build compliance-as-code toolkits and automated audit workflows using Terraform and Python, aligning systems with NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. I also harden container platforms like EKS and AKS and enforce Policy-as-Code with OPA/Rego.

I collaborate closely with engineering and governance teams to deploy cloud landing zones, integrate SIEM/CSPM for threat detection, and automate remediation to accelerate secure delivery. I am seeking roles where I can continue to build secure, automated cloud environments.
