Kelechi Nwankwo

I am a Cloud Security Engineer and DevOps professional with hands-on experience in building secure, scalable, and automated cloud environments. My core strength lies in designing and implementing cloud solutions that prioritize security, efficiency, and high availability.

I have worked extensively with major cloud platforms, including AWS, GCP, and Azure, to deploy and manage infrastructure that meets performance and compliance standards. For example, I have implemented IAM policies and multi-factor authentication in AWS to ensure secure access control, as well as configured VPCs, subnets, and security groups for network segmentation and protection. On GCP, I have deployed workloads with Cloud Armor and Identity-Aware Proxy for application security, while leveraging Azure Security Center for continuous monitoring and threat detection.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a key part of my workflow. Using Terraform, I have built automated deployments for multi-cloud environments, reducing provisioning time and minimizing configuration errors. For instance, I created reusable Terraform modules to standardize infrastructure for development and production environments, ensuring consistency and scalability across projects.

I am also highly skilled in containerization and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes. I have designed containerized applications and deployed them on Kubernetes clusters with auto-scaling and rolling updates, enabling zero-downtime deployments. Additionally, I implemented Helm charts for managing complex Kubernetes applications, making deployments more efficient.

Automation and CI/CD are central to my DevOps practices. I have built CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins, integrating automated testing, security scanning, and deployment workflows. These pipelines have significantly improved software delivery speed and reduced human errors during releases.

For scripting and automation, I rely on Bash scripting to streamline routine system administration tasks and enhance operational efficiency. Combined with VS Code for coding and GitHub for version control, I maintain clean, collaborative, and secure development processes.

Security is at the heart of everything I do. I have implemented cloud-native security controls, encryption mechanisms, and compliance policies such as CIS benchmarks, ensuring that all deployments adhere to industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Overall, I am passionate about bridging development and operations through automation, security, and collaboration. My goal is to help organizations innovate faster while maintaining robust security and reliability in the cloud.
