Cloud Security & Vulnerability Management

• Utilize Wiz (CNAPP) and Vurious to identify, assess, and track cloud and infrastructure vulnerabilities across enterprise environments.
• Coordinate directly with ticket owners and engineering teams to facilitate timely remediation of identified security issues.

SecOps Workflow Consolidation (Personal Initiative)

• Conceptually designed and prototyped an integrated dashboard to consolidate three fragmented vulnerability tracking tools into a single interface.
• Streamlined the remediation lifecycle by automating Vurious query generation, owner identification, and cross-platform information retrieval.
• Implemented a state-tracking mechanism using JSON metadata payloads stored in Azure Cloud storage, allowing direct operations from the tool UI and significantly reducing the mean time to detect and initiate contact.

Ear Training Web Application — ear.faustas.dev

• Architected a highly available, serverless static web application utilizing AWS S3, CloudFront, and Route 53.
• Implemented secure, automated deployments bypassing public S3 access via modern Origin Access Control (OAC) constraints.
• Built a server-authoritative backend with API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB, generating and validating each round server-side so gameplay logic can't be tampered with client-side.
• Integrated Amazon Cognito for user authentication, binding leaderboard submissions to verified identities rather than client-supplied data.

Security Awareness Training Programme

• Conducted benchmarking analysis of market campaigns to design training content aligning a client's procedures with ISO 27001 requirements.
• Created customized, user-friendly materials to foster a robust security culture while maintaining strict international compliance.
