What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can build and harden DevSecOps pipelines, run cloud security audits, and ship secure application testing (SAST/DAST/SCA). I thrive in teams that value least-privilege, automation, and measurable security outcomes.

I’m a B.S. Computer Science graduate seeking application security, cloud security, or DevSecOps engineer roles. I bring hands-on experience building DevSecOps pipelines, running cloud security audits, and developing API penetration testing tools, backed by CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701).

On my flagship project, I deployed a cloud security & DevSecOps pipeline on AWS using Terraform and GitOps, then implemented a 7-job CI/CD security workflow (Snyk SCA, Semgrep SAST with OWASP/Next.js rules, CodeQL, Gitleaks, and Terraform Validate). I also built an AWS Security Auditor CLI in Python to run infrastructure-level checks across multiple services (including IAM wildcard permissions, stale keys, unencrypted RDS, and logging gaps), and created a plugin-based DAST framework targeting runtime issues mapped to the OWASP API Top 10.
