About Clay Fetterman

I’m a cybersecurity engineer focused on keeping systems secure against vulnerabilities and threats. My background spans offensive security, network defense, and virtual infrastructure engineering, with hands-on experience supporting Department of Defense missions.Working across red team operations taught me how attackers think. That insight shapes how I design and defend cloud environments for growing companies.My technical foundation in electrical engineering, combined with graduate studies at Carnegie Mellon University, gives me a blend of hardware awareness, systems thinking, and cybersecurity expertise that strengthens how I approach cloud security design-What I Do Best-• Cloud Security Engineering: Designing secure AWS and multi-cloud architectures, tightening IAM, improving security posture, and reducing real-world attack paths.• DevSecOps and Automation: Building CI/CD pipelines with embedded security controls, plus scripts and tooling that accelerate deployments and reduce manual work.• 🧨 Offensive-Informed Defense: Applying red team experience to cloud threat modeling, abuse-case design, and resilient system hardening.• Virtual Infrastructure and Compliance: Engineering large-scale virtual labs and managing compliance readiness (SOC, ISO, NIST, GDPR, CMMC)-Career Highlights-• 🪖 Supported 80+ Army Red Team Exercises: Provided adversary simulation, malware injects, and technical validation for regional cyber centers around the globe.• Virtual Lab Architect: Engineered scalable virtual networks with hundreds of active machines for cyber research, testing, and training.• 🧰 Compliance Champion: Key contributor to a successful third-party NIST 800-171 audit and preparation of CMMC Level 3 readiness documentation.• Engineering Backbone: Previously managed mission-critical equipment for the U.S. Nuclear Navy, ensuring reliability and operational continuity.
