12.8+ years in IT — 9+ years leading DevOps and DevSecOps transformation, and 3.8 years in systems administration before that. I've led infrastructure, DBA, and security teams end to end, from core banking platforms to trading systems processing real client volume.
Infrastructure leadership for teams that can't afford downtime — or a breach.
Automation first
If it's done twice by hand, it becomes a pipeline. Manual steps are where outages and breaches start.
Security by design
Identity, secrets, and network policy are built into the architecture — not bolted on before an audit.
Reliable infrastructure
Every system is built to be observed, alerted on, and recovered — before it becomes a 2am incident.
Business-focused solutions
Architecture decisions are judged by the cost, risk, and speed they buy the business — not by novelty.
I'm Hassan Kadiwal, a DevSecOps leader with experience building and scaling secure, cloud-native platforms. I lead DevOps, Infrastructure, DBA, and Security teams to deliver resilient enterprise solutions, including the architecture and deployment of a core banking platform to the clients. Earlier in my career, I have more than five years leading DevOps initiatives, building a large-scale trading platform from the ground up and supporting over 70 client projects across multiple industries.
My expertise spans hybrid and multi-cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP, infrastructure automation with Terraform and Ansible, containerized platforms built on Docker, and CI/CD pipelines engineered with Jenkins and GitLab that prioritize both speed and reliability. I embed security into every stage of the delivery lifecycle through shift-left practices, including SAST and DAST scanning with SonarQube, secrets management with Vault, and centralized SIEM, making security an integral part of the pipeline rather than a final checkpoint.
I also design identity and access management solutions, secure API platforms using gateways such as NGINX and HAProxy, and build end-to-end observability stacks with ELK, Grafana, Zabbix, Prometheus, and Wazuh to detect and resolve issues before they impact customers.
My career began with 3.8 years as a System Administrator managing Linux and Windows environments. That hands-on operational experience shapes how I design systems today, with reliability, maintainability, and the needs of on-call engineers in mind. Organizations work with me to build infrastructure that performs under real-world traffic, withstands security threats, and meets demanding compliance requirements.
