Seeking a long-term remote or global opportunity in Cloud Architecture, DevSecOps, or SRE, where I can leverage my 20 years of IT experience to design secure, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions. I value innovation, automation, continuous improvement, and collaborative teams, with opportunities to contribute strategically, solve complex technical challenges, and grow professionally.

Looking for a job
Alan Goncalves Borges
@borgesalan
I'm a Senior Cloud & DevSecOps Engineer working at the intersection of DevSecOps, SRE and Cloud Security.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I join engineering teams to leave platforms better than I found them: faster releases, lower cloud costs, fewer recurring incidents, and integrated security, not improvised. Standardized CI/CD, infrastructure as code, SLO-driven reliability, and governance aligned to CIS, OWASP, NIST and Well-Architected standards, and teams stay self-sufficient through documentation.
My background spans 12+ years across AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI, from on-premises VMware estates to multicloud platforms. I specialize in turning delivery into governed platforms: standardized CI/CD, Terraform-based IaC, AppSec gates on every build, centralized secrets, tokens and sensitive data, edge protection and SLO-driven observability.
The outcomes I repeat in every engagement: faster pipeline setup, fewer critical vulnerabilities, zero secrets exposure, faster incident detection and lower cloud coat. My path includes reliability engineering for customer-experience platforms at Santander, full-lifecycle DevSecOps for a national bank at NAVA, and Blue Team cloud security at Natura &Co - plus DXC, SKY and Tidexa across VMware, OCI and multicloud estates.
A self-directed learner by habit, keeping knowledge current and applying AI-assisted development in daily delivery.I deliver standardization over bureaucracy: every change passes automated quality and security checks before production, and security evidence comes out as a natural side effect of delivery.
What I do best:
• CI/CD & Platform Engineering: Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, reusable templates, GitFlow
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (intelligent modules), Ansible, environment versioning
• DevSecOps & AppSec: shift-left: Veracode SAST/SCA, SonarQube, Fortify, Checkov, secret scanning, OWASP Top 10 / API Top 10
• Containers & Kubernetes: AKS/EKS, OpenShift, Docker, Helm, admission policy, CIS hardening, least-privilege RBAC
• SRE: SLOs, error budgets, RCA/postmortems, toil automation, chaos engineering
• Cloud Security: IAM least privilege, Zero Trust, policy as code, Key Vault, CSPM/CNAPP, CrowdStrike
• Observability & FinOps: Datadog, Grafana, Dynatrace, Splunk, ELK, SLO-based alerting, rightsizing (−30% cost)
