Summary
With over 20 years of experience in Linux/Unix administration and Cloud Security & DevSecOps, I've sharpened my skills in IT infrastructure, cloud security, and automation. I specialize in securing environments like AWS with Prisma Cloud, integrating security into CI/CD pipelines, and implementing DevSecOps practices to improve our security. Currently, as a Prisma Cloud Specialist, I lead efforts to protect workloads on Kubernetes platforms (AKS, EKS) and in serverless settings (Lambda, Azure Functions), ensuring strong security across multi-cloud setups. I also use tools like Terraform and Ansible to automate infrastructure, which enhances efficiency while maintaining high security standards.
