Deivanai Shankar

I’m an MSc Cybersecurity student at Universität des Saarlandes, focused on building toward a career in cloud security—especially understanding how infrastructure breaks and securing it before it does. Through a 5-month enterprise internship with Logicalis Asia Pacific, I gained hands-on Azure experience supporting real production environments.

In my internship as a Cloud & Infrastructure Operations Analyst Intern, I managed and troubleshot Linux and Windows VMs on Microsoft Azure, triaged and resolved infrastructure incidents using ServiceNow, and investigated cloud security vulnerabilities with Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC). I also helped implement VM patching protocols for compliance, and I’ve been reinforcing that security mindset through projects like a phishing detection React Native app, Power BI retail forecasting dashboards, and a MySQL/phpMyAdmin healthcare database with full CRUD.
