🔐 Security & Access Management

  • Drive AWS Organization account onboarding and enforce security best practices (Control Tower enrollment, SCP policies, billing profiles).

  • Govern AWS IAM users, SSO groups, cross-account roles, and permission policies across 15+ AWS accounts.

  • Respond to and mitigate AWS security and CNAPP alerts.

📊🚨 Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response in On-Call

  • Design and evolve monitoring and observability stacks: Prometheus, Alertmanager, CloudWatch.

  • Participate in on-call rotations, providing expert response to complex production incidents.

  • Troubleshoot deep performance issues across the infrastructure stack, guiding multiple teams to a swift resolution.
