# Platform Engineer & DevSecOps Architect
Cloud platforms · Israel
I design secure, production-ready cloud platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure —
combining Kubernetes, Terraform, and DevSecOps. Over ~3.5 years,
I've built 20+ landing zones, cut PR-to-prod cycles by 50%+,
and cut cloud + tooling spend by roughly $45K/year.
Multi-account and multi-project foundations, IAM guardrails, network segmentation, DNS, security baselines, and cost-aware defaults.
Kubernetes platforms across cloud providers with GitOps, observability, and autoscaling for production workloads.
CI/CD pipelines with embedded security checks, SAST/SCA, secret detection, and vulnerability scanning baked into delivery.
Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, and cloud-native automation for repeatable environments and scalable changes.
