Max Zhang is a Senior Cloud Security Engineer with 12 years of experience blending Security Engineering, SRE, and DevOps to harden cloud-native environments across AWS and Azure. He has driven measurable improvements—raising cloud security posture scores, remediating hundreds of vulnerabilities, tightening IAM policies at scale, and cutting AWS costs through infrastructure cleanup and automation. Comfortable in Go, Java, .NET and Python, Max builds serverless solutions and IaC (Terraform) pipelines that bridge developer velocity and least-privilege security controls. He’s led log centralization, EDR/EDR rollouts, and purple-team exercises, often translating red-team findings into automated remediation workflows. Based in Beijing with a U.S. MS in Computer Science, he combines deep systems-rooted skills from early SRE/QA roles with a pragmatic focus on measurable security outcomes.
