I'm a Cloud Security Engineer with a laser focus on automation-driven AWS security, cost efficiency, and elegant DevSecOps architecture. Whether itโs hardening infrastructure, optimizing cloud spend, or building Lambda-powered tools, I bring a balance of technical depth and business awareness.
I run WakimWorks LLC, where I help companies secure cloud workloads, stay compliant, and cut costs โ all using modern, scalable infrastructure-as-code.
