• Strong mastery of cloud network security for AWS and Azure, including VPC/VNet design, peering, security groups/NSGs, firewalls, hybrid connectivity, and policy enforcement (e.g., Calico).
• Proficiency in Linux system security, including nftables/iptables, hardening, logging, and securing services such as DNS, IDS, PowerDNS, and Suricata.
• Skilled in automation through Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) and scripting/programming in Python, Go, or Bash for tooling and workflows.
• Knowledge of advanced networking and security concepts such as DNSSEC, PKI, TLS, reverse proxies, NAC solutions (e.g., Cisco ISE), 802.1X, and device posture management.
