I’m a results-driven Cloud Security Engineer with 5+ years of progressive experience designing, implementing, managing, and securing cloud infrastructures. I focus on delivering secure, scalable, and cost-efficient platforms while enforcing security standards, compliance, and identity-driven access controls.

I’ve been the Terraform SME, building automated and standardized secure infrastructural provisioning across teams. I design and integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines to automate application and database deployments with testing, approvals, and rollback mechanisms for secure delivery.

I also build practical security and operational automation—like event-driven responses using EventBridge and AWS Lambda—to reduce manual intervention. In multi-account AWS environments, I deploy and maintain controls using Service Control Policies, organizational units, IAM policies, AWS Config, Guardrails, and best practices, while deploying and managing ECS/EKS for scalable orchestration.

From my earlier Cloud Systems and DevOps experience, I’ve strengthened foundations with IAM, networking security, secrets management, and end-to-end monitoring using CloudWatch and observability stacks. I’ve led measurable improvements—cutting misconfiguration risk by 60%, reducing provisioning/setup time with Terraform and Ansible, and driving faster, more reliable CI/CD—with a consistent goal: secure systems that teams can operate confidently.
