Senior🎓
Top SchoolPawan U is a Lead DevSecOps Engineer with 11 years’ experience building secure cloud-native platforms and pragmatic DevSecOps practices across defence, enterprise and consulting environments. He has led security strategy and tooling at organisations from IBM to Adarga and now Policy Expert, specialising in AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD hardening, vulnerability aggregation and automation via Terraform and private CI runners. Known for turning security from a blocker into an enabler, he has migrated CNAPP tooling into infrastructure-as-code, created private GitHub Actions/CircleCI orbs, and written custom semgrep rules to embed coding standards. He combines hands-on implementation with people-focused outcomes—setting OKRs, hiring and mentoring engineers, and running threat modelling with product teams. Based in England with an MSc in Cyber Security, he is curious about IoT and blockchain for smart homes/cities and consistently applies defence-sector threat intelligence to commercial cloud problems.
