Work Experience
Cloud Security and Operations Engineer
Hewlett Packard Enterprises
Oct 2023 - Present
Monitored and analyzed security alerts, logs, and events using Splunk to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in real time, ensuring proactive threat mitigation. Utilized CrowdStrike Falcon EDR for advanced threat detection, endpoint investigations, malware containment, and host isolation, reducing incident response time by 30%. Conducted detailed malware analysis using Falcon Sandbox, Pestudio, Procmon6, Process Hacker, and Fiddler to understand behavior, extract Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and support containment and remediation activities. Leveraged Wiz to identify malware infections, cloud misconfigurations, IAM risks, and insecure workloads across AWS and Azure, improving overall cloud security posture and compliance. Analyzed network traffic and threats via IDS/IPS systems, identifying suspicious activities, validating alerts, and investigating potential intrusions to prevent breaches. Performed vulnerability assessments, including CVE mapping, and supported patch management initiatives, enabling teams to prioritize and execute remediation effectively. Coordinated the full Incident Response lifecycle (triage containment eradication recovery) in alignment with NIST and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, minimizing downtime and operational impact. Led rapid investigation of a major threat actor claim by analyzing all potentially impacted servers and logs, confirming no compromise; detected early unauthorized bug-bounty-like activity on a production server during EDR analysis and prevented potential exploitation.
Cloud Engineer (Well-Architected Reviews & Projects)
Flentas
Jun 2021 - Aug 2023
Conducted AWS Well-Architected Reviews (WAR) for customer workloads, identifying high-risk issues (HRIs) and providing actionable remediation recommendations across Security, Reliability, Operational Excellence, Performance, and Cost Optimization pillars. Executed internal cloud projects, including infrastructure setup, compliance checks, documentation of best practices, and automation of tasks for efficient infrastructure provisioning.
AWS Outpost Migration
MoneyFellow
Aug 2023 - Oct 2023
Led zero-downtime migration of production workloads from AWS Cloud to AWS Outpost using parallel deployments and real-time DMS replication, ensuring no data loss and full regulatory compliance. Deployed critical services on AWS Outpost, including EC2, RDS MySQL (via DMS), ECS, ECR, Load Balancer, and VPC, ensuring multi-environment isolation and scalability. Implemented comprehensive monitoring solutions, analyzed workload patterns, and designed a robust disaster recovery strategy with Outpost as primary and AWS region as secondary, achieving near-zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Improved application performance by reducing latency 30–50% through local compute and database processing on AWS Outposts, delivering faster response times and better user experience.
