Top-rated DevOps and cloud security engineer with 10+ years of production experience operating systems exposed to real traffic, real abuse, and real financial risk. Scope spans SMB platforms to enterprise environments, including Fortune 500 delivery. Value is measured in availability, attack absorption, and operational predictability—not tool usage. Custom API tools already built: - Cloudflare reporting tool - Browser challenge platform - Static sites on the edge Primary specialization is edge-first and serverless security architecture using Cloudflare and AWS. Systems are designed so malicious traffic is filtered, shaped, or terminated before it reaches origin infrastructure. Origins are treated as protected assets, not public endpoints. What I Actually Build and Operate: - Platforms that stay online during sustained DDoS and bot attacks - API layers that enforce authentication, throttling, and abuse control before backend execution - Cost-stable systems where traffic spikes do not translate into cloud bill spikes - Deterministic security enforced by code and IaC, not only with manual rule tuning Core Architecture Focus: Cloudflare + AWS serverless patterns, used together or independently, depending on constraints. Cloudflare Examples: - Workers inspecting every request for bot signals, ASN risk, JA3 fingerprints, and behavioral patterns - Edge JWT/HMAC validation so unauthenticated API traffic never reaches AWS or origin servers - KV-backed dynamic blocklists and rate thresholds updated in real time during attacks - Durable Objects for per-client or per-session abuse tracking - R2-served static or semi-static content to offload origins entirely during peak or attack scenarios AWS Lambda Examples: - Lambda functions fronted by API Gateway for controlled execution of business logic - Pre-processing and validation layers that reject malformed or abusive requests before compute-heavy paths - Event-driven security automation (log analysis, rule updates, alerting) -Serverless workloads designed to scale predictably without long-running infrastructure exposure These components are not demos. They are deployed in live environments, handling high request volume and hostile traffic. Services: - Cloudflare security architecture, Workers development, and ongoing rule automation - AWS Lambda and API Gateway design for secure, scalable APIs - DDoS mitigation and bot protection for web, API, and SaaS platforms - DevOps infrastructure design, migration, and hardening - Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code for repeatable, auditable deployments - Retainer-based ownership of production systems, including incident response and long-term optimization Technical Stack: Edge & Cloud Security: Cloudflare (Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, Queues, Cron Triggers, WAF custom rules, Rate Limiting, Bot Management, Zero Trust, Load Balancing), AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, CloudWatch, DynamoDB, S3), Google Cloud, IBM Cloud Serverless: Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda (edge enforcement, request validation, security automation) API Security & Traffic Control: JWT / HMAC authentication, mTLS (where applicable), request shaping and schema validation, abuse throttling, burst control, origin shielding Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Tekton, Travis CI Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (Cloudflare, AWS), Ansible Operating Systems: Ubuntu, Debian, Amazon Linux, Red Hat, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux Languages: JavaScript (Node.js), Python, Bash Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, Nagios, Monit, Cloudflare Analytics & Logs (GraphQL) CMS: WordPress, Magento

I’m a DevOps Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on experience in the dynamic intersection of development and operations. Possessing a Master's degree in Computer Science, my journey started in QA, where I honed my skills in ensuring software quality and reliability. However, I found my true calling in the DevOps domain. This transition allowed me to merge my early QA experiences with a growing expertise in DevOps practices, resulting in a unique skill set that combines quality-focused thinking with an automation-driven approach to software delivery. I’m have a lot of experience with Kubernetes and also hold the title Kubestronaut which means that I passed all the available Kubernetes certifications. I’m also a passionate Copy writer who mostly likes to write about tech-related content and also about fitness and health. I’m open to part-time project in the field of Copy writing as well as DevOps.
