Led DevSecOps initiatives for AWS-based Kubernetes platforms with a focus on cloud security, Kubernetes hardening, IAM, and secrets management. Implemented continuous cloud security monitoring using Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch to detect findings and support remediation. Integrated Trivy scanning and security gates into CI/CD, and delivered Terraform and Ansible automation for repeatable security controls and environment standardization.

Owned secure cloud and DevSecOps engineering across AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, vulnerability management, and monitoring. Applied least-privilege IAM and VPC segmentation patterns, and used Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch for continuous posture monitoring. Secured Kubernetes workloads with RBAC, network controls, and secrets handling, and integrated Trivy and SonarQube checks into pipelines with operational dashboards for visibility.

Built and secured AWS and Kubernetes platforms through infrastructure hardening, GitOps workflows, secure CI/CD, and container vulnerability management. Implemented security monitoring with AWS Security Hub and GuardDuty and hardened EKS workloads using RBAC, network policies, and secrets controls. Automated secure provisioning and enforcement using Terraform and Ansible, while integrating Trivy and SonarQube quality/security gates into Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

Supported secure AWS and Kubernetes operations, CI/CD security automation, secrets management, and production reliability. Hardened Kubernetes workloads using RBAC, namespace isolation, and container security practices, and supported GitOps deployments through ArgoCD with controlled configuration changes. Used Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure provisioning and monitoring via CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK, while assisting incident investigation and documenting RCA actions.

Enabled secure cloud infrastructure automation, CI/CD workflows, Kubernetes operations, secrets management, and production-ready environment provisioning. Built reusable Terraform and Ansible automation to standardize secure infrastructure configuration and applied IAM least-privilege access principles across environments. Implemented secure pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions including SonarQube checks and controlled deployment stages, supported incident-response runbooks, and delivered monitoring with CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana.

Assisted in provisioning AWS infrastructure for development and testing environments with secure networking and IAM access controls. Supported Linux server administration, CI/CD automation with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and container operations using Docker. Automated repeatable infrastructure provisioning and operational checks with Terraform, Ansible, Python, and Bash, while helping maintain security checklists and troubleshooting documentation.
