Scott R.

DevOps & Cybersecurity Engineer | Cloud Enthusiast | Threat-Driven Problem Solver I’m a DevOps professional with a strong cybersecurity foundation and hands-on experience implementing secure infrastructure, automation pipelines, and incident response procedures. With a background in cloud architecture (AWS), network security, and threat detection, I bring a security-first mindset to every stage of the DevOps lifecycle. From building out VPCs and configuring subnets to scripting automated detection tools in Python and analyzing real-world attacks with Wireshark, I’ve done the work that bridges operations and security. My experience spans AWS architecture, firewall rule design, vulnerability assessments, and working in simulated SOC environments like the Telstra and Mastercard Forage programs. I’m passionate about building efficient, resilient systems that are hardened by design, whether deploying secure infrastructure as code, implementing SIEM monitoring, or optimizing CI/CD pipelines for speed and safety.
