Edward Suarez / Senior DevSecOps Engineer / Cloud Infrastructure / SRE

Edward Suarez, Senior DevSecOps Engineer for secure cloud platforms.

I design, automate and operate AWS, Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms where reliability, compliance and deployment speed are treated as engineering outcomes, not afterthoughts.

Profile

DevSecOps leadership with security in the delivery path.

I am Edward Mauricio Suarez, a DevSecOps engineer focused on production-grade cloud platforms. Based in Medellin, Colombia, my work sits where software delivery, infrastructure, security and operations meet: building repeatable systems, reducing manual risk and making platforms observable enough to trust.

01

Secure by default

CI/CD controls, vulnerability feedback, IAM hygiene and audit-ready delivery workflows.

02

Automated operations

Infrastructure as code, repeatable environments and pragmatic automation that removes toil.

03

Reliability under pressure

Observability, incident thinking and resilience patterns for critical business systems.

04

Backend awareness

Go and service-oriented engineering experience that keeps platform decisions close to code.

Systems I Build

Minimal surface. Strong DevSecOps controls. Clear operating model.

A senior DevSecOps profile should make the risk model legible. These are the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, Kubernetes, OpenShift and SRE systems I am hired to improve, harden or build from the ground up.

Secure CI/CD

Pipeline design, quality gates, secrets handling, automated checks and release flows with evidence.

  • GitHub Actions / Jenkins / GitLab CI
  • SAST, dependency and container checks
  • Deployment governance

Cloud Platforms

AWS environments designed for scale, cost awareness, security boundaries and predictable operations.

  • VPC, EC2, RDS, S3 and IAM
  • Terraform and CloudFormation
  • Multi-environment automation

Kubernetes & OpenShift

Container platforms with deployment consistency, service health, policy controls and operational clarity.

  • OpenShift workloads
  • GitOps delivery patterns
  • Runtime reliability and observability

SRE & Observability

Monitoring, tracing, alerting and resilience practices that help teams understand systems before they fail.

  • Dynatrace and platform telemetry
  • Chaos engineering strategy
  • Incident-oriented feedback loops

Experience

From backend delivery to regulated platform operations.

Current and recent DevSecOps, SRE and cloud engineering work across banking, marketplace platforms and infrastructure consulting.
