Summary
Pavel Dvorkin is a Staff Platform DevSecOps Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience building secure, production-ready CI/CD pipelines and platform automation for large enterprises. He has led platform and DevSecOps work at Consensys and Amazon, architecting AWS-native deployment flows, automated key rotation, high-throughput load testing, and rollback/recovery mechanisms for fraud and audit services. Pavel blends deep hands-on engineering (Python, Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS CDK) with security-first practices—implementing GuardDuty, Inspector, Twistlock and WAF protections across cloud and Kubernetes environments. He has a strong background in test automation and observability from earlier roles at Hearst and JOOR, and has repeatedly driven team practices like GameDays, multi-stage testing, and region failover strategies. Unusually for someone in platform engineering, Pavel’s roots include academic research in chemistry and even MD studies, reflecting a curiosity-driven approach to complex systems. He is known for turning operational complexity into auditable, repeatable infrastructure that scales across teams and environments.
