I’m Shef, a Cloud Security and DevSecOps Engineer specializing in securing AWS and Kubernetes environments from code to production. I integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, IAM, and workloads to help organizations stay compliant and breach-resilient without slowing delivery. Results I’ve delivered: ✅ Cut exposed IAM credentials by 87% through automation and least-privilege enforcement. ✅ Removed 35 public S3 exposures and reduced GuardDuty alert noise by 55%. ✅ Automated SAST, DAST, and dependency scans across CI/CD pipelines for faster, safer releases. What I do: - AWS IAM and access hardening - CI/CD pipeline security with SAST, DAST, and SCA integration - CSPM, EKS, and container workload security - CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Detective, Inspector, GuardDuty, WAF, and Security Hub optimization - Terraform and CloudFormation security baselines I’m AWS and Azure certified, with deep experience in automating cloud security for enterprises that move fast but can’t afford risk. If you’re scaling in the cloud and want measurable security improvements this month, send your AWS scope or repository details, and I’ll map out your quick wins.
