You will get complete PCI DSS certification prep and secure CDE architecture
Project details
As a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and AWS Certified Cloud Architect with over 15 years of enterprise DevSecOps experience, I provide end-to-end PCI DSS certification readiness for merchants and service providers (Levels 1-4).
I don't just provide a checklist—I architect, harden, and segment your Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) to reduce scope and minimize risk. My process includes expert network segmentation, military-grade encryption, and thorough Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing (VAPT). Whether you are preparing for your first SAQ or require a full Report on Compliance (RoC), I ensure your infrastructure is audit-ready, secure, and fully compliant.

DevSecOps Engineer – AWS, Security & PCI DSS Compliance
Sahil did an excellent job securing our AWS infrastructure and guiding us through PCI DSS compliance. He quickly identified security gaps, implemented practical DevSecOps improvements, hardened our AWS environment, and delivered clear documentation throughout the engagement. Communication was smooth, deadlines were met, and his expertise made the entire process much easier. I’d be happy to work with him again and highly recommend him for AWS cloud security and compliance projects.

Job Success
Bengaluru, India - 7:46 pm local time
15 years running production workloads at scale: multi-AZ VPC architecture on AWS, VNet/resource group administration on Azure, EKS/ECS deployments, Terraform with remote state locking, and CI/CD pipelines with automated rollback. I've led SOC 2 Type 2 audits to zero major findings, cut MTTR by 30% with alarm-tied incident runbooks, and reduced cloud spend by 20% through right-sizing and Spot/Reserved Instance strategy.
What I actually do:
→ AWS infrastructure design and hardening — VPC, EKS/ECS, RDS Aurora Multi-AZ, disaster recovery with sub-15-minute RTO
→ Azure administration — VNet configuration, resource group and subscription management, AD identity/access administration, Azure SQL and storage account setup
→ Terraform infrastructure-as-code — modular design, remote state, policy-as-code with OPA
→ CI/CD pipeline builds — GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, blue/green and canary deploys
→ DevSecOps and compliance engineering — SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA risk assessments, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 readiness, security baked into the pipeline not bolted on after
→ Incident response and observability — CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus/Grafana, PagerDuty, runbook automation
Certified AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), and CISA. I've worked directly with fintech platforms (PCI DSS environments for banking clients including Zest.ai,BNZ, KiwiBank, ANZ, Westpac), healthcare SaaS (HIPAA PHI audits), and high-traffic e-commerce and payment platforms.
If your infrastructure is down, insecure, or you're staring down an audit deadline — on AWS, Azure, or both — tell me what's actually broken. I'll tell you honestly what it takes to fix it.
