Cloud Security Architect

About Me

Iโ€™m a Cloud Security Engineer & Architect who builds systems that donโ€™t just run they defend, adapt, and scale. My focus is on secure cloud design, automated defense, and intelligent threat response across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments. I merge DevSecOps principles, Zero Trust frameworks, and AI-driven security analytics to transform cloud infrastructures into resilient ecosystems.

Every architecture I design follows one core rule security must move faster than risk. From IaC blueprints to real-time anomaly detection, my work blends engineering precision with strategic foresight. Iโ€™m fluent in automation, observability, and compliance engineering, and I continuously evolve systems to stay ahead of emerging threats including quantum-era risks.

What I Do

  • Architect multi-cloud security infrastructures using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible
  • Implement Zero Trust and least-privilege frameworks with IAM, SSO, and adaptive access control
  • Automate threat detection, incident response, and compliance validation using Python, Lambda, and SIEM systems
  • Develop AI-assisted defense systems for anomaly detection, data protection, and predictive analytics
  • Integrate security in CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD for end-to-end DevSecOps
  • Design serverless and containerized architectures hardened for scalability and resilience
  • Apply NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CIS frameworks to engineer compliance into every deployment
