What I'm looking for
As a dedicated DevSecOps Engineer, I have extensive experience in automating and securing both on-premises and cloud infrastructures. My expertise lies in building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, deploying scalable infrastructure, and enhancing development workflows. I am committed to empowering teams by showcasing the value of automation and fostering a proactive security culture.
During my tenure at Macquarie Government, I successfully implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Ansible, which improved scalability and reduced manual configuration by 80%. I also led the Splunk SOAR platform initiatives, creating playbooks for incident triage and enhancing threat intelligence operations. My technical skills encompass a wide range of programming languages and tools, including Python, Jenkins, and Microsoft Azure, allowing me to deliver efficient and reliable solutions.
With a strong educational background in Software and Biomedical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, I hold multiple certifications from Splunk, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and professional development. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize security and efficiency.
