Cloud Native Security Engineer · Seattle

Mirza
I work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, systems, and source code — keeping them confidential, integral, and available.
About
Systems thinker.
Security practitioner.
I don't optimise for writing fast code or chasing language features. I reason about systems — how they connect, where they break, and what happens when they're under pressure.
My work spans cloud providers, Kubernetes control and data planes, reverse proxies, API automation, and the security boundaries between all of them. Across financial services, healthcare, aerospace, and enterprise networking.
If it's complex, distributed, and needs to stay up — that's where I do my best work.
