About Sujal Tayade

I am a Cloud & Production Engineer with 4+ years of experience managing and supporting enterprise-scale AWS environments, with growing specialization in cybersecurity and cloud security practices.I began my corporate journey at the age of 18, choosing to gain hands-on industry experience early rather than limiting myself to theoretical learning. That decision allowed me to build practical exposure to real production environments from the start of my career.Currently working in a production-focused engineering role, I handle critical AWS workloads including ECS, EC2, S3, VPC, and CloudWatch. My responsibilities involve debugging production incidents, resolving high-priority issues, analyzing logs using Splunk and Dynatrace, and ensuring system stability across live environments.For the past 1 year, I have independently led and managed night shift production operations, maintaining service continuity, incident response, and smooth system performance.My work exposure includes:• Production incident management• Log monitoring and root cause analysis• AWS infrastructure troubleshooting• Linux server debugging• Performance monitoring & alert handling• Cross-team coordination during critical outagesAlongside my operational experience, I am actively building expertise in cybersecurity, focusing on:• Cloud security best practices• Security monitoring & log analysis• Linux security hardening• Automation for security visibility• DevSecOps fundamentalsCertifications:• Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer• AWS Certified Developer – Associate• AWS Certified AI PractitionerMy long-term goal is to transition fully into Cloud Security / Cybersecurity Engineering, leveraging my strong foundation in production systems, monitoring, and incident response.I believe security starts with deep operational understanding — and I am building that foundation every day.
