Travis Stein
@travisstein
Cloud and security engineer specializing in cloud identity, PAM, SIEM integrations, and automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Cloud Security and Security Engineer with 10+ years delivering secure, reliable solutions across cloud and on-premises environments, focusing on AWS and Azure for identity, networking, compute, storage, and KMS.
I have led architecture and implementation efforts for PAM, endpoint privilege management, SIEM and SOAR integrations, and vulnerability management while partnering with executives, product, and platform teams to translate risk into clear actions.
My hands-on experience includes building proof-of-concept labs, authoring deployment guides and runbooks, automating policy checks and attestations with Python and PowerShell, and embedding security into CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native services to improve control effectiveness and audit readiness.
I am pursuing an M.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (expected Spring 2026), open to relocation within the continental United States, and focused on roles that let me shape secure defaults, reduce implementation friction, and deliver measurable reductions in risk.
