About

Cloud-focused application security practitioner with hands-on AWS and Kubernetes experience, including securing a manufacturing monitoring platform (API auth, least-privilege IAM, CI/CD security checks) and troubleshooting a production data-ingestion outage caused by an overly restrictive IAM change. Experienced in implementing cloud-native security tooling (IAM Access Analyzer, Inspector, CloudWatch) and deploying monitoring/security agents via Kubernetes sidecars with Helm, Prometheus/Grafana, and Jenkins-driven CI/CD.

Key Strengths

• Identifies and remediates cloud security misconfigurations (public APIs, over-permissioned IAM)
• Explains security tradeoffs to engineering and management; aligns technical risk to business impact
• Integrates security scanning and checks into CI/CD to reduce vulnerabilities pre-production
• Strong AWS operational troubleshooting using CloudWatch logs/metrics to find root cause
• Improves long-term security posture via documentation and secure development guidelines
• Designs secure agent/scanner deployments with least-privilege IAM and private VPC placement
• Kubernetes agent integration experience (sidecar, Helm) with secrets management and observability
• Manages multiple concurrent customer onboardings with phased plans, risk tracking, and stakeholder updates
