About Kalilah C.

Contact InformationEmail: k••••••••@pursuit.orgGithub: am a Software Engineer working in DevOps, focused on building, securing, and scaling reliable cloud systems while remaining deeply rooted in education and community impact. My work sits at the intersection of infrastructure, security, automation, and human-centered technology—ensuring platforms not only function well, but serve people effectively.In my current DevOps work, I support production environments using AWS, AWS-CDK, Terraform, Splunk, Wiz, OpsGenie, JFrog, Prisma, and Snyk, contributing to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, security monitoring, and incident response with a strong emphasis on reliability and scalability.Alongside my infrastructure work, I bring a strong full-stack engineering foundation, enabling me to understand how applications are built, deployed, and maintained end-to-end. This allows me to collaborate effectively with developers, security teams, and product stakeholders to create systems that are both resilient and user-focused.I am also pursuing a degree in Secondary Education with a concentration in Mathematics, reflecting my commitment to making technical knowledge more accessible. I believe engineering and education are deeply connected—both are about breaking down complexity, building confidence, and creating pathways for growth. Whether mentoring, teaching, or building systems, I aim to help others thrive in technical spaces.Before transitioning into tech, I served as an Assistant Director, Main Office Coordinator, and Teaching Artist, where I built teams, supported learners, and strengthened operational systems. These experiences continue to shape how I collaborate, advocate, and build inclusive, people-centered technology.TECHNICAL & CloudAWS | AWS-CDK | Terraform | Splunk | Wiz | OpsGenie | JFrog | Prisma | SnykPROGRAMMING/SOFTWARE:Node.js | Restful APIs | Git | VS Code | Firebase | Postico | Postman | Github| Netlify | Render | ElephantSQLFRONT END:HTML | Javascript | React.js | StrutsCSS | React Bootstrap | Tailwind | SASSBACK END:Express.js | PostgreSQLOPERATIONS/ADMINISTRATION:Microsoft Suite | Google Workplace | Slack | Jira/Trello | Zoom | ATS | Sesis
