Securing and
cloud infrastructure

This website is a living example of my ability to build, automate, and secure cloud infrastructure. Leveraging experience across systems, data, and automation, I implement practical DevSecOps strategies grounded in deep operational understanding.

Secure DevSecOps Pipeline with GRC Compliance

This site demonstrates a comprehensive DevSecOps pipeline running on AWS infrastructure. The entire deployment process—from infrastructure creation to content update—is fully automated via GitHub Actions. It features a secure two-container architecture: an Nginx reverse proxy with SSL termination, and a Node.js API providing real-time GitHub statistics. The pipeline includes integrated security scanning, compliance mapping, policy-as-code validation, and centralized monitoring via CloudWatch.

AWS EC2 Instance
  • Terraform IaC: Manages EC2, EIP, and Security Group, with PoLP via IAM Role integration.
  • Security Scanning: Trivy vulnerability scanning and PyLint policy checks integrated into deployment pipeline.
  • GRC Dashboard: Interactive compliance mapping to NIST, CIS, and HIPAA frameworks with real-time scoring.
  • Dynamic API: Real-time GitHub statistics via containerized Node.js API with resilience checks.
  • SSL Management: Automated certificate renewal via Certbot with Route 53 DNS validation.
  • GitHub Actions: Orchestrates the entire build/deploy cycle from a single `git push`.
  • CloudWatch Monitoring: Centralized logging and monitoring with automated Nginx access log collection for security analysis.
