I’m a Cloud Security Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience designing, securing, and managing cloud infrastructures across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. My expertise spans IAM, SIEM, endpoint protection, threat detection, and security automation.I’ve designed and deployed secure workloads in AWS VPCs with private subnets, NAT gateways, Security Groups, and NACLs, ensuring encrypted storage (EBS, S3) and minimal attack surface. I’ve managed IAM policies, RBAC models, and MFA configurations using tools like IAM Analyzer to enforce least privilege.I’ve operationalized AWS GuardDuty and Azure Defender to monitor and respond to threats in real-time, while configuring SGs, NSGs, and ACLs to mitigate cloud vulnerabilities. With tools like CrowdStrike Falcon and Microsoft Defender, I’ve handled endpoint alerts, conducted RCA, and built SOPs to enhance incident response maturity.
