About Me

Hello! I'm Edward Mauricio Suarez, a Senior DevSecOps Engineer dedicated to Engineering Excellence. With over 5 years of experience, I specialize in designing secure, scalable cloud architectures on AWS and OpenShift. My unique background combines DevOps governance with Backend Development (Go) expertise, allowing me to optimize infrastructure — recently reducing deployment times by 66% and boosting compliance to 89%. Let's connect and explore how I can contribute to your next project!

What I Do

Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

I ensure high availability and resilience through Observability (Dynatrace), Chaos Engineering, and automated recovery strategies for critical systems.

DevSecOps

I integrate security into the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring compliance and vulnerability detection early in the lifecycle without sacrificing deployment speed.

Cloud Architecture & IaC

I design and orchestrate scalable infrastructure on AWS and OpenShift, managing everything as code (Terraform/Ansible) to eliminate manual toil.

Backend Engineering

Bridging the gap between Dev and Ops, I build high-performance microservices in Go and Java, optimized for cloud-native environments.
