A little about me
I’m a Security Engineer moving deeper into platform engineering, DevSecOps, and software engineering. My work is grounded in Azure, with Terraform and CI/CD central to how I build.
I built Bank Vault Academy from the ground up on my own, including the application and its Azure infrastructure. I continue to operate the platform, which serves real users today.
I’m expanding my experience into AWS and GCP. This portfolio, austindennis.dev, is my hands-on AWS engineering project.
