About Hicham

Cloud Security Engineer, DevSecOps, SRE & AI Security, specializing in securing and ensuring the reliability of AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and Artificial Intelligence (LLM, RAG, ML) infrastructures.

I work on critical cloud environments to identify, exploit, and fix technical vulnerabilities, while improving system resilience, availability, and performance. I also assist in securing and deploying AI systems in production.

My expertise:
- Founder and key contributor to the design of cloud security solutions such as CNAPP / CSPM / CWPP / AI sec used in real environments (notably in products like CLEAR By Thales), including the development of vulnerability detection modules, security posture monitoring, and remediation automation.

- Cloud & Kubernetes technical audits (IAM, network, containers, CI/CD)
- AI systems security (LLM, RAG, ML, AI Agents, data pipelines)
- Multi-cloud security (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and automation
- DevSecOps (integrating security into CI/CD pipelines)
- Implementation of SRE practices (monitoring, alerting, SLI/SLO, incident management)
- Threat detection and hardening of cloud environments

I assist my clients with:
- Securing production cloud and Kubernetes infrastructures
- Deployment and security of AI solutions (LLM, RAG, agents)
- Fixing critical vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
- Improving availability, scalability, and fault tolerance
- Implementing reliable monitoring and alerting systems
- Cloud cost optimization (FinOps)

Approach: pragmatic, results-oriented, and focused on automation. Objective: to secure, stabilize, and scale cloud infrastructures and AI systems rapidly.
