Marko P.

I help companies solve cloud, security, DevOps and infrastructure problems that affect reliability, performance, security and growth. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience across cloud infrastructure, Linux systems, DevOps, web security and production operations, including previous engineering work at IBM. I am also the founder of DevSec Global, a cloud, security and AI engineering agency. I work directly with clients while bringing in additional engineering capacity when a project needs broader infrastructure, security, development or ongoing operational support. Cloud Security & DevSecOps I help companies secure, stabilize and improve production environments. Typical work includes: • Cloudflare WAF, DDoS protection, DNS, SSL and rate limiting • Bot attacks, scraping, fraud and abusive traffic • AWS, Azure and GCP architecture and security reviews • Linux server administration and hardening • IAM, permissions and access-control reviews • Kubernetes, Docker and container infrastructure • CI/CD pipelines and deployment troubleshooting • Cloud migrations and infrastructure modernization • Monitoring, logging and alerting • Incident investigation and production troubleshooting • WordPress infrastructure, security and performance • Security assessments and remediation I regularly work with Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Linux, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Jenkins and related infrastructure technologies. AI Engineering & Automation I also help companies build practical AI systems and automation that solve specific business problems. Examples include: • AI agents for research and business workflows • Lead research and sales intelligence tools • Internal knowledge assistants • Proposal and RFP assistants • Customer support and onboarding systems • AI-powered product and service advisers • Automated reporting and analytics • Competitor and market-monitoring systems • Workflow automation connected to CRMs, APIs and internal systems • Secure AI applications using private company or customer data AI does not always require building a new platform. In many cases, the best approach is to add AI capabilities or automation to an existing system and integrate them with the tools the company already uses. MVP & Product Engineering I frequently work with companies that already have an MVP, prototype or AI-generated application but need help making it production-ready. This can include: • Architecture and codebase reviews • Security and scalability assessments • Repairing or rebuilding problematic components • API and third-party integrations • Authentication and authorization • Database and infrastructure improvements • Monitoring, backups and operational controls • Deployment automation • Reliability and performance improvements • Moving prototypes into production This is especially important for rapidly built AI or SaaS products where the prototype works, but the security, infrastructure and operational foundation needs professional engineering before the product scales. Security by Design When systems process customer information, internal data or allow AI agents to perform actions automatically, security needs to be part of the architecture from the beginning. I focus on areas such as: • Authentication and authorization • Data protection and access controls • Privacy and GDPR considerations • API and secrets management • Infrastructure security • Logging and auditability • Monitoring and alerting • Abuse prevention • Human approval for sensitive automated actions How I work I prefer to understand the actual technical problem before recommending a large project. Sometimes the right solution is a focused fix. In other cases, the infrastructure or application needs deeper remediation or partial rebuilding. For new products, I can build a focused MVP first so the idea can be validated before committing to a larger development effort. I can work directly with your internal team or act as the technical delivery partner behind an agency, consultancy or product company. Through DevSec Global, I can also provide additional engineering capacity for projects requiring cloud, DevOps, security, AI or application-development expertise. For longer-term engagements, I can stay involved after the initial project for infrastructure management, security, monitoring, maintenance, incident response and continued improvements. If you have a cloud, DevOps, security, infrastructure or AI engineering problem, send me a short description of the current setup, the main issue and what you are trying to achieve. I can quickly determine whether it requires a focused fix, an assessment or a broader engineering engagement.
