Summary
Razi A is a Senior DevSecOps Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and automating secure, scalable cloud and telco platforms across AWS, GCP, OpenStack and hybrid environments. He has led large-scale initiatives for carriers and government programs—accelerating deployments (70% faster at times) and enabling continuous ATO readiness by embedding SAST/DAST, SBOM, and compliance controls directly into CI/CD pipelines. Razi pairs deep RHEL and network engineering expertise with modern IaC and GitOps practices (Terraform, Ansible, ArgoCD, Tekton) to turn manual processes into repeatable, policy-as-code workflows for nationwide 5G and NAS infrastructures. He often operates at the intersection of security, observability and automation—building centralized monitoring stacks and incident SLAs while automating NIST and FAA compliance frameworks. Beyond cloud-native tooling, he has a telco pedigree automating NFV/Cisco Packet Core and device provisioning with Python/Netmiko, a background that helps him bridge application, network and regulatory requirements. Based in Sterling, VA, Razi combines systems-level rigor with pragmatic engineering to deliver auditable, production-ready platforms for high-stakes environments.
