@mayanksekhar
DevSecOps and AWS platform engineer embedding security, privacy, and automation into cloud delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a DevSecOps and Senior Platform Engineer with 11+ years of experience building and operating AWS production platforms for regulated industries, focusing on availability, security, and release reliability. I design secure, auditable CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, integrating SAST/DAST, SCA, SBOM, and policy enforcement to ensure repeatable, compliant deployments at scale.
My work spans platform security, privacy engineering, and SRE practices — from AWS Control Tower multi-account architectures to incident management and ISO/GRC alignment. I have led NIS2 and GDPR enablement, ISO 27001 pilots, and cross-functional initiatives that translate risk and regulatory requirements into enforceable engineering controls.
