Sanvima Solutions Pvt. Ltd.May 2021 – May 2023
Cloud Security & Solutions Engineer
● Engineered AWS cloud infrastructure, implementing IAM roles, VPC, and encryption at rest/in transit to safeguard sensitive data.
● Automated vulnerability scanning through OWASP ZAP and GitHub Actions in CI/CD, ensuring flaw remediation pre-release.
● Deployed Django-MySQL apps on CIS-benchmarked Ubuntu servers, minimizing attack surface and strengthening hardening.
● Integrated HTTPS/TLS-secured CCAvenue and PayPal gateways, enforcing PCI DSS and secure protocol compliance throughout.
● Created Terraform IaC templates to provision, version, and manage AWS resources, which accelerated setup and reproducibility.
● Monitored cloud workloads with CloudWatch and configured automated alerts for anomalies, reducing incident response times.
● Worked with the SOC team to analyze logs using ELK Stack, detecting and responding to brute-force and suspicious behaviors.
● Hardened app endpoints and leveraged AWS Web Application Firewalls to mitigate OWASP Top 10 threats and zero-day exploits.
● Utilized Docker and Kubernetes for secure container deployment, incorporating container image scanning with Trivy.
● Analyzed network traffic with Wireshark/AWS VPC Flow Logs to investigate suspicious connections and ensure secure data flows. PROJECTS
