Mohammad Alam is a Senior Security DevOps Engineer with over a decade of Linux administration experience and four years focused in security roles across cloud-native and SaaS environments.

Based in New Jersey, he pairs deep hands-on AWS expertise with audit-readiness experience (SOC 2, HIPAA/HiTrust support) and a track record of reducing privileged account exposure through least-privilege models and change-management.
