I’m a “Network deployment and cybersecurity engineer with mid-level experience in data center operations and cloud security,” focused on strengthening infrastructure resilience and regulatory compliance. In my current role, I develop and ship production-grade web applications that serve live customers, using secure-by-design controls like OAuth 2.0 authentication, Row-Level Security, input validation, and XSS protection.

I build automation that turns security requirements into measurable outcomes. I “built an automated compliance scanner using Python and OPA/Rego” to audit AWS and GCP infrastructure against “CIS and NIST benchmarks,” and I integrated 30+ automated policy checks into CI/CD pipelines to deliver compliance dashboards, drift-detection alerts, and exportable audit reports.

I also bring strong operational security fundamentals from the network side. I configured and deployed 15+ Cisco routers and switches with Cisco IOS features (VLANs, BGP, OSPF, ACLs, spanning-tree protocols) to improve segmentation, and I “managed 500+ monthly security incidents” with 95% on-time resolution while integrating multi-source logging into Splunk SIEM to reduce false positives by 15%.
