I build secure, scalable, and automated cloud solutions with a focus on reliability, security, and clean delivery pipelines. My interests sit at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and security-first engineering.
I enjoy designing systems that are not just functional, but resilient, maintainable, and production-ready.

DSB Capstone Project
Built a GitHub Actions-based DevSecOps pipeline for a simulated fintech platform, using Docker across every testing stage to automate security checks from pull request to staging deployment.
Highlights
- Dockerized unit, integration, smoke, and DAST testing
- Automated SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC/config scanning
- GitHub Actions workflows for PR gates, staging validation, and nightly audits
- Production and test image separation for cleaner, safer deployments
- Security enforcement built directly into CI/CD for faster, safer releases
