Deepak Shenoy

I’m a senior AWS Security & Platform Architect and DevOps consultant with deep experience designing, enforcing, and operating cloud platforms at enterprise scale. My work sits at the intersection of security, governance, platform engineering, and delivery automation, with a strong focus on making cloud environments secure, reliable, and auditable by default. I currently lead organization-wide AWS security and governance initiatives in a large multi-account environment, defining mandatory security baselines, guardrails, and control mechanisms aligned with regulatory requirements such as DORA and NIS2. This includes IAM and access governance, SCP/RCP enforcement, logging and detection platforms, backup and disaster recovery validation, and policy-driven automation using Terraform and DevSecOps practices. Across previous engagements, I’ve led on-premise to AWS migrations end to end from architecture and connectivity design through production go-live covering highly available infrastructure, CI/CD platforms, observability, cost management, and operational resilience. I’ve standardized delivery pipelines (GitLab + AWS), automated infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, implemented Kubernetes/EKS platforms, and built reusable platform components adopted across multiple teams. I work closely with engineering teams, security, and stakeholders to translate requirements into practical, enforceable architectures that scale without slowing teams down. My focus is always on reducing manual effort, preventing bypass of controls, and improving reliability, visibility, and audit readiness. I operate through Cloud Trekkers B.V. and am available for contract or freelance engagements. Based in the Netherlands (Amsterdam / Den Haag / Rotterdam region) and open to remote or hybrid work.
