Who I am

I'm a Senior Cloud Security Architect and DevSecOps leader with 15+ years of hands-on experience — from self-taught sysadmin to CISO-level advisor at a PCI DSS Level 1 payment processor handling 1M+ daily transactions.

I don't write specs for others to implement. I build the things myself — 99 AWS Terraform modules, 500+ Wazuh detection rules, 80+ SOAR workflows, 45 production Helm charts. Every control is tested in production, not on paper.

My background is unusual: BIM coordinator for a 260,000m² Gazprom complex, then fintech DevOps, then Cloud Security Architect. That breadth means I see problems most specialists miss — and I communicate clearly with both CTOs and QSAs.

Based in Israel. Available globally, remote.

  • Zero-breach track record across fintech, crypto, and payment processing

  • EKS security hardening (CIS EKS Benchmark v1.4.0)
  • Dual-SIEM: Wazuh + Security Onion NDR, 500+ custom rules
  • SLSA Level 3 supply chain security for all production images
  • Local LLM inference for security analysis (RTX 5090, DeepSeek R1)
