Experience
Built a Kubernetes Cluster with CI/CD in a DMZ Environment
Established Connectivity with AWS Direct Connect
Built a Microservices Architecture for .NET Apps Using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
For DevSecOps, I used Veracode and SourceClear to scan all locally developed and 3rd-party code so all builds are scanned before getting to the build pipeline; JFrog Xray was used to scan the Docker containers.
