Cloud and AI consultant building AWS security, analytics, and Generative AI projects after customer-facing work at AWS.

India

Message

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), I worked directly with customers on infrastructure-security and account-abuse cases, recommending monitoring, containment, and preventive controls. I also authored approximately five Kaizen/Gemba improvements that were implemented in internal AWS operational workflows.

Since 2024, I’ve worked independently on AWS cloud and AI projects, including a market intelligence and portfolio tracker and a cloud honeypot and honeynet security system. At MaxCADD, I delivered AWS training and architecture advisory; at AnywhereWorks / FULL Creative, I supported SaaS onboarding, adoption, and service investigations.
