Aurélien Kumarathas

DevSecOps & Cloud Security Engineer — AWS · Terraform · Kubernetes · GitHub Actions

I help teams ship faster without shipping vulnerabilities — by building security into IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes from day one.

Recent focus areas:

  • Secure-by-default Terraform — hardened AWS modules, policy-as-code with OPA/Rego, SARIF reporting
  • Multi-tool DevSecOps pipelines — SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC and container scanning in GitHub Actions
  • Kubernetes hardening — OPA Gatekeeper constraints, network policies, runtime detection, CIS compliance
  • Threat modelling — STRIDE, DREAD, MITRE ATT&CK for regulated (healthcare/fintech) workloads

Based in London, UK — open to hybrid or remote-first roles.

🎯 Roles I'm Targeting

DevSecOps Engineer · Cloud Security Engineer · Security Engineer (Platform/Cloud)

📂 Featured Projects

Project What I built Impact Stack
Terraform AWS Security Hardening Hardened AWS stack (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, KMS) with Checkov, tfsec & OPA wired into GitHub Actions. SARIF uploads feed the GitHub Security tab at PR level. Full SOC 2 control mapping and findings register included. 19 Checkov + 19 tfsec findings → 0 on main. All Critical/High remediated. Terraform · Checkov · tfsec · OPA/Rego · GitHub Actions · AWS
DevSecOps Pipeline Two-branch pipeline: main holds intentionally vulnerable code to prove every gate catches real issues; hardened branch is fully remediated. Open PR with before/after diffs, CVSS scores and MITRE ATT&CK mappings for every finding. 7 vulnerability classes eliminated — SQLi, SSTI, CMDi, path traversal, YAML injection, hardcoded creds, root container. GitHub Actions · CodeQL · Bandit · Trivy · Gitleaks · Docker
Kubernetes Security Portfolio Hardened a 3-node GKE cluster end-to-end: OPA Gatekeeper constraints (no root/privileged pods, required resource limits), namespace network policies, Trivy image scanning, RBAC audit, custom Falco rules. CIS non-compliance: 38% → 6% GKE · Kubernetes · OPA Gatekeeper · Falco · Trivy · Helm
Healthcare Threat Model Full threat model for a fictional NHS-style cloud platform on AWS. 31 threats across STRIDE categories, all DREAD-scored and placed in a risk register. ATT&CK Navigator layer JSON included. APT attack simulation timeline written to show where controls break real kill chains. 31 threats identified, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, NHS DSPT & UK GDPR. STRIDE · DREAD · MITRE ATT&CK · NIST CSF · AWS
