I'm a Cloud Engineering and DevOps Consultant who specializes in security. With 10+ years of experience across Fortune 100 enterprises, startups, healthcare, and SMBs, I build cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines that are secure by design — not bolted on after an audit fails. If you need someone to architect your AWS or GCP environment, automate deployments with Terraform, and make sure the whole stack holds up to HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI scrutiny, that's exactly what I do. My Core Areas of Expertise: - Secure Cloud Architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure): Designing production cloud environments with security baked in, hardened VPCs, multi-account structures, least-privilege IAM, KMS, AWS WAF, GCP Security Command Center, and guardrails that scale with the business. - Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and CloudFormation modules with built-in security controls, policy-as-code (OPA, Sentinel, Checkov), and drift detection. Reusable, peer-reviewed, and CI-tested. - Secure CI/CD Pipelines: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, and AWS CodePipeline with integrated SAST, SCA, secret scanning, and container image scanning. Pipelines that ship fast and safely. - Containers & Kubernetes Security: Docker, ECS, EKS, GKE, image hardening, runtime security, network policies, and admission controls. - DevSecOps & Compliance Automation: Automating controls for HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS 4.0.1, and HITRUST. I've taken multiple organizations through audits with zero findings by making compliance a build artifact, not a quarterly fire drill. - Zero Trust & Network Security: Identity-based micro-segmentation, Cloudflare deployments, site-to-site VPNs, and secure networking for distributed teams. - Observability & Incident Response: CloudWatch, Datadog, security event monitoring, and runbooks that turn alerts into action. Why work with me? Most consultants either build cloud infrastructure or audit it. I do both, which means the environments I deliver are production-ready and audit-ready on day one. From greenfield AWS builds to debugging deployment issues on AI-assisted web apps, my goal is to leave your stack automated, secure, and easy for your team to own going forward. Let's connect to discuss how we can modernize your cloud, automate your deployments, and keep your data locked down.

I break into systems for a living, then build the defenses that keep the next person out. Seven years, 60+ assessments, both sides of the fence. CPTS-certified penetration tester and security engineer. Head of Cybersecurity at AC Süppmayer GmbH in Germany, former Application Security Engineer at Tap Payments — a regulated FinTech processing live payment traffic. Founder of Triox Cyber Security, delivering third-party security work for technology companies, FinTechs, and mid-market enterprises across Europe, the Gulf, and North America. Most security freelancers do offense or defense. I do both, in the same engagement, which means the detection logic I write is built from attacks I have actually run — not from a vendor template. ───────────────────────────────────────── OFFENSIVE SECURITY Web application and API penetration testing Mobile application assessment — iOS and Android Cloud security review — AWS, Azure, GCP Internal and external network penetration testing Active Directory attack path assessment Wireless assessment OWASP Top 10, OWASP MASVS, and PTES-aligned methodology Fully manual testing supported by tooling — never an automated scan with a cover page. Every engagement delivers an executive summary written for leadership, CVSS-scored findings, complete reproduction steps, prioritized and developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest once fixes are in place. ───────────────────────────────────────── SECURITY ENGINEERING & DEFENSE Splunk SIEM deployment, tuning, and detection engineering SOC build-out and MITRE ATT&CK detection coverage XDR deployment and configuration IDS/IPS, firewall, and WAF architecture and hardening Cloud and infrastructure hardening — CIS benchmark alignment Honeypot and deception deployment Vulnerability management and secure SDLC programs Breaches are rarely missed for lack of logs. They are missed because nobody was watching the right ones. I make sure the right ones are watched, and that your team knows what to do when they fire. ───────────────────────────────────────── TYPICAL ENGAGEMENTS Pre-launch penetration test on a web application or API External and internal network penetration test Mobile application security assessment Cloud configuration and IAM review Active Directory attack path assessment and hardening Splunk SIEM or SOC deployment from the ground up Infrastructure hardening and security architecture review Remediation support following a failed audit or third-party pentest Ongoing retainer — quarterly testing with continuous detection tuning ───────────────────────────────────────── HOW I WORK You work directly with the engineer performing the test. No sales layer, no junior handoff, no findings written by someone who never touched your environment. Scope and rules of engagement are agreed in writing before anything starts. Critical findings are reported the day they are found, not held for the final report. Retesting after remediation is included — a finding is not closed until it is proven closed. Reports are written to survive an auditor, a client security questionnaire, and a developer's sprint planning, because in regulated FinTech they have to survive all three. ───────────────────────────────────────── Years of delivery for technology, FinTech, and enterprise clients. Working comfortably across English, the German market, and Arabic-speaking clients in the GCC. NDA and formal contracting standard. If you have a compliance deadline, a customer demanding a pentest report, a product going live with unknown exposure, or a SOC producing noise instead of alerts — send me your scope. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit, and if I am not, I will tell you that too.

🟢𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐘 Many coaches and course creation have valuable knowledge, strong offers, and great ideas, yet their Kajabi setup still feels incomplete. pages don't flow naturally, automation feel disconnected, course arears become overwhelming, and potential buyers lose confidence before they even reach checkout. In many cases, the problem is not the offer it’s the experience surrounding it. I work with coaches, consultants, educators and digital entrepreneurs who need more than just a basic Kajabi setup. My focus is creating organized, conversion-focused systems that feel intentional, easy to navigate, and professionally structured for both the client and their audience. Kajabi can do a lot, but without proper structure, even a strong program can end up looking unfinished. I help clients build streamlined sales funnels, polished landing pages, organized course arears, membership platforms, webnar pipelines, and automations that make sense while guiding visitors naturally toward taking action. Here’s what I help clients with: ✔ Kajabi Website Design ✔ Kajabi Sales Funnels & Pipelines ✔ Kajabi Landing Pages ✔ Kajabi Course Upload & Structuring ✔ Membership & Community Setup ✔ Email Automation & Sequences ✔ Checkout Pages & Offers ✔ Webinar Funnel Setup ✔ Canva-to-Kajabi Page Design ✔ Kajabi Migration & Redesign My approach is not just about making pages look good. I pay close attention to customer journey, mobile responsiveness, user experience, navigation flow, and backend organization so the entire platform feels smooth, professional, and easy to manage long after launch. A lot of course creators struggle with abandoned checkouts, confusing navigation, low engagement, disconnected automations, and funnels that simply do not convert the way they should. These small issues quietly affect trust and sales. That’s why I focus on creating Kajabi systems that are clean, strategic, scalable, and built around how real users actually interact with online programs. To get started, send me an invite or message here on Upwork with a brief overview of your project. If you already have a clear idea, we can also schedule a quick consultation to map out the best way to structure your Kajabi setup.
