Expertise in CI/CD security, DevSecOps, and automation of security assessments (SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA).
Hands-on with Infrastructure as Code security (Terraform, CloudFormation) and Policy-as-Code (Azure Policy, OPA).
Experience securing hybrid/multi-cloud (Azure, GCP) and on-prem environments.
Strong knowledge of security frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001/2, CIS) and secure design principles.
Skilled in threat modelling, Zero Trust, Least Privilege, and Network Segmentation.
Familiar with SSDLC, governance, risk, compliance, and secure coding practices.
