I build the detections that catch real attacks and the automations that handle the noise, so your analysts stop drowning in false positives. 5+ years in security operations: threat detection, incident response, detection engineering, and SOAR. Currently SOC Analyst & Incident Responder for a US healthcare technology company, working daily in Microsoft Sentinel and Defender across a regulated environment. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU SIEM ENGINEERING & DETECTION CONTENT Deploy and tune Microsoft Sentinel end to end, data connectors, CEF collectors, analytics rules, watchlists, and custom KQL detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. I onboard messy log sources (AWS, Palo Alto, Cisco Meraki, Windows and Linux servers, employee endpoints) and write detections that fire on real threats instead of burying your team in alerts. Also work in OpenSearch, ELK, and Wazuh. SOAR & SECURITY AUTOMATION Playbooks in Azure Logic Apps and n8n that cut manual analyst effort. One example: automated IP blocking pushed across Cloudflare, Microsoft Defender, and CrowdStrike, but only after the IP clears automated reputation checks against AbuseIPDB, VirusTotal, and Sentinel threat intelligence, so legitimate traffic never gets cut off. Another correlates live software inventory against newly disclosed CVEs to flag exposed assets automatically. LOG PIPELINE & PLATFORM INTEGRATION I built the full ingestion layer for a commercial ITDR product, 7+ sources pulled via API, parsed and normalized through Logstash and Filebeat into OpenSearch, enriched with MISP and OpenCTI threat intelligence, containerized in Docker for reproducible deployment. INCIDENT RESPONSE & THREAT HUNTING Triage, scoping, containment, remediation, root cause analysis, and post-incident reporting. Proactive hunting driven by ATT&CK-based hypotheses rather than guesswork. OFFENSIVE SECURITY BACKGROUND A year of network and web application penetration testing against OWASP methodology, plus social engineering and phishing assessments. I know what attacks look like from the other side, which is why my detections hold up. CERTIFICATIONS Microsoft SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst Associate) SANS SEC504 (Hacker Tools, Techniques & Incident Handling) Practical Threat Hunting (Applied Network Defense) AZ-500 in progress. WHO I WORK BEST WITH Startups and mid-size companies that need a SIEM stood up properly the first time. MSSPs that need detection content written. Security teams buried in alerts who need automation built around them. Tell me what your stack looks like and what's hurting most right now, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

I'm a DevOps Engineer, Cloud Architect, and Platform Engineer with over 6 years of experience designing, automating, securing, and operating cloud-native infrastructure for startups, SaaS companies, enterprises, and telecom organizations. My expertise spans the entire software delivery lifecycle, from infrastructure design and provisioning to deployment automation, observability, security, disaster recovery, and production operations. I specialize in building resilient, highly available, and scalable platforms across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enabling organizations to deliver software faster while maintaining security, reliability, and operational excellence. Cloud Infrastructure & Infrastructure as Code I design and provision production-grade cloud infrastructure using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Ansible, following Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices to deliver consistent, repeatable, and version-controlled environments. My experience includes architecting secure cloud foundations with VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, IAM, load balancers, NAT gateways, storage, managed databases, Kubernetes clusters, and networking components across AWS, Azure and GCP. I build modular and reusable Terraform modules, automate multi-environment deployments, implement remote state management, and integrate infrastructure provisioning into CI/CD pipelines to accelerate deployments while ensuring governance, scalability, and compliance. Kubernetes, Containers & Platform Engineering I have extensive hands-on experience architecting and managing modern cloud-native platforms using Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and Azure DevOps. I build production-ready Kubernetes clusters across Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, and self-managed Kubernetes, implementing GitOps workflows, automated deployments, secrets management, ingress controllers, certificate automation, service discovery, autoscaling, and zero-downtime deployment strategies. Whether migrating legacy applications from virtual machines or Docker Compose to Kubernetes, modernizing monolithic applications into microservices, or building internal developer platforms, I focus on delivering secure, highly available, and maintainable solutions. Cloud Networking & Security My background in networking enables me to design secure, resilient cloud environments using VPC/VNet architecture, VPNs (IPSec/OpenVPN), DNS, reverse proxies (NGINX & Traefik), SSL/TLS automation, WAFs, IAM, RBAC, private networking, and disaster recovery strategies. I have extensive experience managing production databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, and Kafka, implementing high availability, replication, backup, recovery, and performance optimization for mission-critical applications. Observability & Site Reliability Engineering I believe every production platform should be fully observable and measurable. I implement comprehensive monitoring and observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, ELK/OpenSearch, CloudWatch, and Azure Monitor to provide deep visibility into infrastructure and application health. My experience includes centralized logging, distributed tracing, custom dashboards, proactive alerting, SLI/SLO implementation, incident response, capacity planning, root cause analysis, and performance optimization—helping organizations improve reliability while minimizing downtime. MLOps & AI Infrastructure I help organizations build scalable cloud infrastructure for AI and machine learning workloads by provisioning secure environments, containerizing ML applications, deploying inference services on Kubernetes, and automating end-to-end MLOps pipelines. My experience includes GPU-enabled infrastructure, scalable object storage, model deployment automation, CI/CD for machine learning, and cloud-native ML platform operations. I focus on building reproducible, reliable, and production-ready environments that allow data science teams to move models from experimentation to production efficiently. What distinguishes me is my ability to combine deep technical expertise with a strategic engineering mindset. I don't simply deploy infrastructure, I build platforms that emphasize automation, scalability, security, resilience, and operational excellence. I take ownership from architecture and implementation through optimization, monitoring, cost management, and long-term operations. By leveraging Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, DevSecOps, and platform engineering best practices, I help organizations accelerate software delivery while maintaining reliability and security. Whether you need to modernize infrastructure, migrate to the cloud, scale Kubernetes, automate with Terraform, enhance observability, implement MLOps or optimize production operations, I deliver secure, scalable, and reliable cloud solutions.
