IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built end-to-end DevSecOps delivery workflows using Jenkins, SonarQube, Trivy, Kubernetes, Helm, and ArgoCD, including approval-gated production deployments and automated security reporting.
In my ongoing AWS LocalStack and monitoring labs, I build modular Terraform infrastructure, multi-AZ VPC and IAM controls, plus Docker-based Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Promtail alerting for infrastructure and SSH security events.
I also have hands-on experience with Linux hardening (Fail2ban, iptables automation, Nmap/Nessus-based VAPT) and have built LogQL-based privilege escalation detection in Grafana Loki. Available across all time zones — actively seeking remote DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure roles.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Built a five-container Docker Compose observability stack with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Promtail. Implemented dual observability for DevOps metrics and SOC log alerting, including a Python-based SSH brute-force auto-blocker.
