WORK HISTORY
Software Engineer 3 @J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.
Arlington, VA, US
Led enterprise cloud security transformation initiatives securing AWS-based microservices platforms by combining secure Java application development, Zero Trust architecture, and DevSecOps automation while strengthening cyber resilience and incident response readiness.• Designed and developed secure Java/Spring Boot microservices supporting high-volume enterprise workloads with embedded security controls.• Secured 50+ REST APIs using OAuth2, Keycloak, and OpenID Connect implementing RBAC, JWT validation, secure token handling, and service-to-service authentication.• Implemented secure coding practices aligned with OWASP standards, performing code reviews and mitigating injection, authentication, and deserialization vulnerabilities.• Architected AWS cloud-native environments using least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, encrypted communication, and Zero Trust access models.• Integrated SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and container security into CI/CD pipelines, reducing critical vulnerabilities by 60% through DevSecOps automation.• Implemented AWS WAF rule sets with rate limiting, bot mitigation, and traffic inspection to defend against OWASP Top 10 threats and large-scale DoS/DDoS attacks.• Enhanced security monitoring, threat detection, and incident investigation through centralized logging and observability platforms.• Improved incident detection and response time by 30% by aligning processes with NIST 800-61 incident response guidelines.• Developed Python-based automation for vulnerability triage, compliance validation, and security monitoring, reducing MTTR and improving operational efficiency.• Mapped cloud and application security controls to NIST CSF and NIST 800-53 frameworks to support SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance readiness.• Acted as a security advisor to engineering leadership, translating business risk into secure application architecture and scalable cloud security controls.

ABOUT LEELA KRISHNA MARRI MUNI
I’m a security-focused, multi-cloud engineer with 9+ years of experience building, securing, and operating distributed systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP. My background combines deep backend engineering expertise with hands-on cloud security architecture, enabling me to design and secure platforms end-to-end across infrastructure, application, and operational layers. With a strong foundation in Java and Spring Boot microservices, I’ve built REST APIs, web services, event listeners, batch jobs, and CI/CD-integrated systems backed by SQL and Kafka. This engineering depth allows me to embed security controls directly into application design while supporting real-world production systems. I design defense-in-depth architectures across multi-cloud environments, implementing least-privilege IAM, encryption strategies, policy guardrails, and centralized logging and detection capabilities. My approach aligns with Zero Trust principles — continuous identity verification, segmentation, and policy-driven enforcement across workloads and cloud platforms. I’ve secured Kubernetes environments (EKS, AKS, GKE) using RBAC, namespace isolation, hardened deployments, and pipeline-integrated security validation. I implement protections aligned with OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security risks, combining secure coding practices, WAF configurations, rate limiting, and attack-surface reduction strategies for internet-facing services. Beyond implementation, I actively support production environments — investigating anomalies, analyzing logs, leading remediation efforts, and strengthening detection and response capabilities. I conduct STRIDE-based threat modeling and align controls with NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, and ISO 27001 security frameworks. As organizations adopt AI-enabled tools and platforms, I focus on securing AI workflows through identity enforcement, API governance, data boundary protection, and monitoring for misuse patterns such as prompt injection or excessive data exposure. I also leverage AI-assisted security tooling to enhance log analysis, anomaly detection, and vulnerability prioritization. I’m passionate about building resilient, scalable, and secure systems across multi-cloud environments — partnering with engineering teams to ensure security is practical, measurable, and deeply integrated into modern platforms.\"
