Vulnerability Management Program

60% reduction

Partnered with 8+ product teams to embed secure-by-design requirements throughout the SDLC and drive a risk-based vulnerability management program across cloud and on-prem estates.

  • Integrated Snyk, Tenable, Orca, and Armis with CI/CD pipelines
  • Reduced critical vulnerability backlog by 60% in two quarters
  • Implemented policy-as-code guardrails cutting review time from days to under 30 minutes
  • Hardened multi-cloud environments (AWS & GCP) using Terraform and CIS benchmarks

LLM-Powered Compliance Bot

75% effort saved

Designed and built a RAG-powered Slack bot that automates compliance evidence collection, intelligent report generation, and real-time security alerting.

  • Built RAG pipeline for intelligent compliance querying and report generation
  • Developed interactive Slack bot with LLM-powered natural language interface
  • Integrated with Asana for automated remediation task tracking
  • Leveraged AWS Athena to analyze CloudTrail logs and surface anomalies
  • Reduced manual compliance effort by 75%

Platform Security Automation

40% to 90% compliance

Enhanced security automation for a cloud-native software-defined networking platform delivering managed services to enterprise customers.

  • Integrated Black Duck for container and application SCA
  • Developed security tools for CI/CD pipeline integration
  • Established automated security testing frameworks
  • Improved release compliance from 40% to 90%

Built on my own

This site

live demo

a3sec.net is its own case study: everything below is built and running here, all of it managed in Terraform.

  • Static site on S3 behind CloudFront with Origin Access Control: no public bucket, no website endpoint, all of it in Terraform.
  • Security headers and a strict CSP at the edge: no inline script on any page, scripts only from the site itself (plus cdnjs for the calculator charts).
  • A self-healing cost circuit breaker: one-minute CloudFront alarms, automatic restore, a budget scoped to the site's own services.
  • A public JSON API and MCP server on Lambda with input validation, rate limits, origin validation and tests.
  • Honeypot paths armed with Canarytokens, and a public traffic dashboard built from access logs that publishes aggregates only.
  • Everything readable without JavaScript and documented for agents in llms.txt.
  • Try it: type help in the terminal above, call /api, or point an MCP client at https://www.a3sec.net/mcp

SEC101

free course

An interactive course on everyday cybersecurity for non-specialists, in Ukrainian: the habits and settings that stop most real-world attacks.

  • Modules on passwords and managers, MFA, phishing, browser privacy, device hygiene, safe tools, and networking basics
  • Hands-on checks and quizzes instead of slides, so readers verify their own setup as they go
  • Live at sec101.a3sec.net

Where I Can Help

The work I do day to day, also available as short contract projects.

AppSec program setup

SAST, DAST, SCA and secrets scanning wired into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins, with triage rules engineers trust, policy-as-code guardrails and a 30-day rollout plan.
