communication and alignment on deliverables, including security requirements.

  • Architect solutions that securely integrate our legacy PHP systems with the new .NET micro-services,

ensuring seamless functionality, data integrity, and protection against vulnerabilities.

  • Implement and enforce AWS security best practices (e.g., IAM least privilege, VPC segmentation, encryption

at rest and in transit, security group configurations) to safeguard our infrastructure and sensitive data,

ensuring compliance with industry standards.

  • Optimize AWS resource usage to balance performance, security, and cost, providing regular reports to

leadership on cloud spending and security investments.

  • Proactively identify and address security risks during and post-migration, including regular audits of the cloud

environment and contractor deliverables.
