Senior DevOps Engineer | Cloud Security Consultant | AWS | Azure | GCP

If your cloud infrastructure is becoming expensive, insecure, or difficult to scale I can help you fix it and future-proof it. I’m a DevOps and Cloud Security engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience working with startups and multinational companies across the US, UK, and UAE. I design and implement secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud environments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and DigitalOcean. Here’s how I help my clients: **DevOps Engineering (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean):** I build and optimize CI/CD pipelines, automate infrastructure using Terraform, and implement Kubernetes-based deployments to ensure fast, reliable releases. **Cloud Security:** I design and manage end-to-end deployment workflows, build and optimize secure CI/CD pipelines, and automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation). I implement Kubernetes-based deployments and orchestration, integrate CI/CD security practices (SAST, DAST, container scanning), and set up automated notifications and alerting to ensure fast, reliable, and controlled releases with zero downtime. **Cloud Migrations:** I execute end-to-end cloud migrations across AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, and Linode. I also specialize in moving workloads from AI-builder platforms like Replit, Anything, and Kimi to secure, production-ready cloud environments. **Compliance & Audit Readiness:** I prepare organizations for SOC 2 Type I & II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR, both manually and using platforms like Vanta and Drata overing policies, controls, and technical implementation. **Cloud Cost Optimization:** I optimize cloud costs by identifying waste and right-sizing resources. Proven results include up to 50% cost reduction with no compromise on performance, scalability, reliability and security. **Monitoring & Observability:** I implement end-to-end monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, ELK Stack, and Splunk. With custom alerting, I ensure issues are detected and resolved before they impact users. I don’t just deploy tools I design and build secure, scalable, and production-ready systems engineered for reliability, compliance, and long-term growth. My approach focuses on minimizing operational risk, strengthening security, and giving you complete visibility and control over your infrastructure from day one. Whether you need support with DevOps, cloud architecture, security hardening, infrastructure migration, CI/CD, or compliance initiatives, I’d be happy to discuss how I can help drive your project forward. **Tools & Technologies:** - Public Clouds: AWS, Azure, GCP - AWS: EC2, RDS, Code Pipeline, S3, System Manager, VPC, IAM, Route 53, SQS, EKS, Secrets Manager, WAF, ECS, Config, SNS, Security Hub, Inspector, Guard Duty, EC2 Image Builder, EKS, Amplify, Elastic Beanstalk - GCP: VPC,GKE, CloudRun, CloudArmor, Load Balancer, Bucket, Redis, Domain, Certificate Manager - Azure: VNet, Virtual Machine, Azure DevOps, Azure Foundry, Azure Open Air Search, App Service - OS Platforms: Debian based linux systems and Windows Server - SCM/Version control: GitHub, CodeCommit - CI Tools: Jenkins, CodePipelines - Containerization & Orchestrations: Docker, ECS, Kubernetes - Monitoring: Sensu, Uptime Robot, Data Dog - IaaC: Terraform - Database: RDS (Postgres/MSSQL) - Programming & Scripting: Bash, Python - Security Compliance: SOC (I & II), HIPAA - XDR Platform: Sentinelone, Trend Micro Deep Security - CSPM: Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft Defender for Cloud - SAST Platforms: Sonarqube, Snyk, veracode - Container Scan: Accuknox, Trivy, Snyk Container - DAST Platforms: OWASP Zap, Stackhawk - Security Tooling: Prowler, Scoutsuite, Nmap, Scapy, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nessus, WireShark, WPScanner, Sqlmap, OWASP ZAP
