What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud security and automation efforts, implement IaC governance, mentor teams, and drive compliance-first architectures in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a DevSecOps engineer with 3+ years building secure, high-availability cloud environments across AWS, GCP, and Azure, specializing in Terraform and Policy-as-Code to automate security gates and maintain NIST 800-53 and HIPAA alignment. I design governance frameworks—such as AWS Bedrock governance with KMS and VPC endpoints—and lead technical delivery for cloud-native platforms while mentoring teams in modern incident response.

My work has reduced manual onboarding from days to same-day automated triggers, enforced 200+ automated security guardrails via Control Tower and Landing Zone Accelerator, and implemented self-healing compliance engines using AWS Config and Lambda. I hold multiple cloud and security certifications and focus on operational efficiency, automated compliance, and safeguarding PII and sensitive data.
