I build secure AWS Kubernetes platforms and DevSecOps pipelines that speed releases and reduce risk.
What I'm looking for
At Marca Solutions, I build and operate secure, highly available AWS platforms for 25+ microservices. My Terraform-built multi-AZ EKS environments sustain 99.9% uptime while reducing infrastructure provisioning from three days to under two hours.
I designed GitLab CI/CD pipelines with eight DevSecOps stages, cutting execution time from 35 to 12 minutes and blocking 100+ critical vulnerabilities before production. I also implemented GitOps with ArgoCD, accelerating release cycles by 60–70%.
I strengthen cloud security and observability through OIDC and STS Web Identity, AWS Config with SSM auto-remediation, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana. My work has raised AWS compliance above 95%, reduced incident detection to under five minutes, and lowered monthly cloud costs by 20–30%.
