About Emmanuel Garrison

I’ve had a very successful and well-rounded career. I have designed, developed and implemented core management strategies. I led in Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s), which propelled forward the core objectives of organizations such as NIKE, IBM, The Andersons Inc, Texas Instruments. In addition, I have leveraged my extensive and broad understanding of Operational functions, focusing on customer satisfaction, retention, and community engagement, over a diverse spectrum of community cultures to meet and exceed expectations. Career highlights and achievements:• Building automated pipelines (e.g. using AWS CodePipeline, Jenkins, GitHub Actions) that test, package, and deploy software, so releases become faster and more reliable.• Containerizing applications using tools like Docker and Kubernetes, which helps to scale applications to meet demand and Disaster Recovery.• Turning cloud infrastructure into code, IaC, JSON stacks (e.g. AWS CloudFormation, Terraform), so I can provision and manage resources automatically & more efficiently than manually configuring them; Saving time and reducing configuration errors.• Configured IAM policies, security groups, bucket policies and encryption to protect sensitive assets from unauthorized access and tampering, while monitoring for threats using CloudTrail and GuardDuty.• Leading incident management teams, configured SIEMs integrated with SOARs, which allows automated incident detection and response. Reducing incident response times.And many more.DevOps Engineer and Cybersecurity Analyst with over a decade of experience architecting and securing infrastructure in hybrid and cloud-native environments. Skilled in CI/CD pipeline development, infrastructure as code (IaC), containerization, and cloud security, with deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Proven ability to automate deployment workflows, integrate security controls into Agile/DevOps lifecycles (DevSecOps), and manage system reliability and scalability.Strong background in software development and network security with hands-on experience in IAM, SIEM, Firewall and IDS/IPS implementations. Specialized in securing containerized applications, hardening Kubernetes clusters, and applying least-privilege access models. Experienced with compliance-driven environments—aligning cloud security architecture to NIST, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and PCI-DSS frameworks.Currently advancing my proficiency in Python and GoLang. Exploring AI powered deployments and AISecOps in multi-cloud architectures.
