I designed a Zero Trust security architecture for a mid-market financial firm that reduced their attack surface by 80% and achieved SOC 2 Type II certification in under six months.
Over 20+ years, I’ve helped organizations across finance, healthcare, government, and tech secure cloud environments, pass audits, and avoid six-figure breach risks through practical, production-ready security design.
🛡️ CLOUD & ENTERPRISE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
I design end-to-end security architectures on Azure and AWS that align with real business risk, not just checkbox compliance. My engagements span Zero Trust network design, IAM strategy, cloud-native security controls, and threat modeling for organizations ranging from Series B startups to Fortune-tier enterprises.
- Zero Trust Architecture (ZTNA, microsegmentation, identity-centric design)
- Azure Security Center, Microsoft Defender, AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty
- IAM & Privileged Access Management (PAM)
- Network Security: Firewalls, SD-WAN, IDS/IPS, VPN, DMZ architecture
- Cloud Landing Zone design and secure baseline configuration
📋 COMPLIANCE & GOVERNANCE (SOC 2 | ISO 27001 | NIST | CIS)
I've guided organizations from pre-audit chaos to certification-ready in compressed timelines. I don't just hand you a policy template, I build the controls, close the gaps, and prepare your team to pass.
- SOC 2 Type I & Type II readiness and audit preparation
- ISO 27001 gap assessments, ISMS design, and implementation roadmaps
- NIST CSF and NIST 800-53 compliance programs
- Risk register development, control mapping, and evidence collection
- Security awareness program design
☁️ MICROSOFT 365, SHAREPOINT & SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
I've deployed and secured Microsoft 365 environments for enterprises with thousands of seats, architected SharePoint intranet platforms, and designed systems integration frameworks that connect legacy infrastructure with modern cloud services, without breaking what works.
- Microsoft 365 tenant architecture, security hardening, and governance
- SharePoint Online design, migration, and custom configuration
- API-based systems integration and workflow automation
- Hybrid Azure AD / Active Directory environments
✍️ TECHNICAL WRITING & PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT
I translate complex technical architectures into documents that win contracts and drive decisions. My technical proposals have supported bids across federal and commercial sectors, and my research is published and indexed on Google Scholar.
- RFP/RFQ response writing and solution narrative development
- Architecture documentation, runbooks, and security policies
- Cloud and cybersecurity whitepapers and thought leadership content
👋 WHY WORK WITH ME
I bring the strategic thinking of an enterprise architect and the hands-on delivery of an engineer who has actually built, secured, and documented these systems in production. I communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and treat every client engagement like it's going into my own portfolio.
Whether you need a full security architecture engagement, compliance readiness support, a technically precise proposal, or an expert who can write about cloud security in plain English, I'm ready to deliver.

I am Roshan Nagekar, a DevOps and infrastructure engineer with 13+ years of experience across cloud platforms, technical support, team leadership, and customer-facing operations. I have worked with startups, enterprises, and global teams across every layer of technology — from writing runbooks and managing cloud budgets to onboarding customers and teaching DevOps to university students.
What makes me different from a typical technical hire is range. I am equally comfortable debugging a Kubernetes cluster at 2am, writing a PRD for a new feature, managing a global DevOps team, or qualifying a lead over web chat. I bring both depth and breadth, and I use AI tools daily to move faster across all of it.
What I can help you with:
DevOps and Cloud Engineering
AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, infrastructure as code, cost optimization, and 99.9% uptime at scale.
System and Cloud Administration
Linux and Windows server management, IAM and access control, DNS, networking, VPNs, backups, monitoring, on-call operations, and incident response.
Technical Support and Customer Success
Customer onboarding, troubleshooting complex technical issues, CRM management (HubSpot), SLA-driven support, escalation handling, and translating technical problems into plain language for non-technical users.
QA and Documentation
End-to-end QA testing, API validation (Postman, curl), staging environment management, runbook and SOP writing, and documentation that non-engineers can actually follow.
Team Leadership and Management
Director-level experience leading global DevOps and SRE teams, hiring, onboarding, performance management, KPI tracking, incident coordination, and stakeholder communication.
Product and Operations
Sprint grooming, requirements discovery, bridging technical feasibility with product value, AI-assisted workflow design, and building operational systems from scratch in fast-moving environments.
AI-Native Operator
I use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and CrewAI as genuine daily work tools. I also build AI agents and MCP servers, so I understand this technology at a level that goes well beyond prompt-and-paste.
Recent highlights:
Reduced AWS costs from $45K to $18K per month (60% savings) while improving uptime from 97% to 99.9%
Migrated 50+ microservices to Kubernetes, cutting deployment time from 6 hours to 15 minutes
Led a global DevOps team as Director of Infrastructure at Aigent through ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance
Visiting lecturer at two universities teaching DevOps Engineering and Cloud Platforms
Organizer of DevOps Pune meetups with 3000+ engineers
I take on clients where I can make a real difference. If you need someone who can wear multiple hats, communicate clearly, deliver without hand-holding, and bring genuine technical depth to whatever the role requires, let us talk.
