About Ime
🔐 I’m a freelance AWS Cloud Security Engineer with 30+ hands-on projects in incident response automation, IAM hardening, CI/CD security, and Kubernetes security.
I help businesses deploy secure cloud infrastructure using Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS-native tools like GuardDuty, CloudTrail, KMS, and Config Rules.
I’ve built multi-account landing zones, automated compliance workflows using CIS/NCSC standards, and developed Lambda-based remediation pipelines.
My work is fully documented with live code and step-by-step guides on GitHub.
