As a Team Lead in the Application Security team, I lead a team in designing and maintaining IAM infrastructure using Keycloak in Kubernetes. This also involves securing services with WAF, implementing DevOps pipelines, managing data migrations, and automating realm and client onboarding with a Keycloak-automation tool.I\'ve also played a key role in transforming our Content Delivery System by leveraging Fastly CDN and FastlyIO, utilizing Node.js, VCL, and GitOps for efficient and scalable management. This transformation included migrating numerous websites to the new CDN, enabling modern features like AVIF image compression. Additionally, I led the modernization of our legacy CDN by seamlessly upgrading CentOS VMs to RockyOS VMs and upgrading Varnish and Apache Web Server — ensuring zero disruption to highly trafficked websites. I implemented a comprehensive lifecycle management system for assets on the CDN to optimize performance and reliability.I’m now focused on developing a tool, built with Playwright and Robot Framework, to analyze marketing tags across websites. The goal is to automate parts of the application security review process and continuously monitor any changes to marketing tags in live websites.
