Patrick Beane

I’m an Infrastructure & Security Engineer who designs, deploys, and operates production services end-to-end, with a relentless focus on reliability, infrastructure security, and operational clarity. I specialize in secure-by-default automation, self-healing systems, and real-time observability.

Since 2022, I’ve built and operated a multi-cloud production platform powering public-facing services on beane.me, serving 1.5M+ API requests with 99.9% uptime. I’ve engineered automated health monitoring, rate limiting, and fault-tolerant service design, then extended resilience with an automated DNS failover system delivering sub-2-minute recovery.

I also run a 7-node CrowdSec threat mitigation fleet that mitigates tens of thousands of automated threat events, using replicated enforcement plus MITRE ATT&CK mapping and AbuseIPDB reporting. To keep operations transparent and actionable, I developed observe.beane.me to aggregate detection events, enforcement actions, metrics, logs, and MITRE ATT&CK mappings in real time.

My work blends threat modeling, verification, and continuous improvement: I created tfSTRIDE to analyze Terraform plan JSON, map risks to STRIDE categories, detect trust boundaries, and emit Markdown/SARIF reports for CI workflows. I’ve implemented container vulnerability management with Trivy trend analysis and built Borgmatic backup verification with integrity checks, restore testing, and 99.8% deduplication—while unifying authentication via OIDC federation with enforced MFA.
