DevSecOps Pipeline Automation: Shift-Left Security at Scale
How to embed SAST, dependency scanning, and policy-as-code into GitHub Actions pipelines without slowing delivery.
I architect cloud-native platforms and security systems at enterprise scale โ from zero-trust Sentinel deployments and multi-tenant AKS clusters to AI/LLM infrastructure and DevSecOps automation. 15+ years across AWS, Azure, and GCP delivering measurable outcomes: 75% faster deployments ยท 40% cost reduction ยท 95% fewer security incidents.
I build scalable cloud infrastructure and automate deployment pipelines that power innovation at scale. Ensuring the security and reliability of modern applications is my passion.
Led a large-scale migration of on-premise VMware workloads to Azure, focusing on cost-optimization, security, and operational excellence using Azure Migrate.
Designed and implemented a secure CI/CD pipeline, integrating static analysis (SAST), dependency scanning, and policy-as-code to shift security left.
Architected a zero-trust security model using Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, and Entra ID to provide integrated threat defense and automated response.
Built a comprehensive Security Operations Center (SOC) dashboard in Grafana, visualizing real-time threat data from Prometheus and various security logs.
Deployed a multi-tenant Kubernetes platform using AKS, Istio service mesh, and GitOps for automated, secure application delivery at scale.
Built scalable infrastructure to support Large Language Model (LLM) training and inference, using vector databases and RAG architecture for performance.
