Cloud security, DevOps, and AI engineering in one workflow

I'm Sumeed Iqbal, a Cloud Security & DevOps Engineer based in Pakistan. Across previous engineering roles, I moved from full-stack .NET and Angular development into cloud security, DevSecOps, and platform engineering, working on systems that support healthcare, telecom, and enterprise workflows.

My work has focused on securing cloud-native platforms, modernizing application delivery, building governed CI/CD pipelines, improving observability, and helping teams release software without bypassing security. Azure has been my deepest hands-on platform, especially for containerized workloads, identity, networking, secrets, monitoring, and release automation.

I also build AI-powered engineering tools with Python, FastAPI, Streamlit, Groq, prompt engineering, and RAG. This portfolio is part of that work: a live AI toolkit for IaC review, Kubernetes hardening, pipeline generation, threat modeling, control gap analysis, and portfolio Q&A.
