DevOps, Cloud & Security Consultant, Freelance / Projects
Jan, 2022 - Present
Consulting and implementing high-availability cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps pipelines, and threat monitoring platforms.
Architected highly available AWS EKS environments using modular Terraform and Terragrunt. Integrated Multi-AZ AWS RDS/Aurora instances with automated Route 53 health-check DNS failover to ensure zero downtime during region or availability-zone degradation.
Deployed HashiCorp Vault integrated with External Secrets Operator and AWS KMS to dynamically inject lease-based database credentials and API secrets directly into EKS pods, eliminating static credentials across git repositories.
Engineered automated stateful container disaster recovery pipelines using Kasten K10, creating custom Kanister blueprints for database snapshot lifecycles and offsite S3 object locking.
Deployed Wazuh SIEM agents across cloud hosts and integrated Falco into EKS clusters for real-time kernel-level anomaly detection including unauthorized privilege escalations and interactive shell spawns.
Built custom SOAR automation workflows using Python (Boto3) and webhooks to trigger dynamic AWS Security Group isolations and instant Slack alerts upon high-severity Wazuh and Falco alerts.
Deployed Istio Service Mesh to enforce mTLS service-to-service encryption, combined with Kyverno policies for strict admission control and Pod Security Standards enforcement.
