Hello !
I’m Ananjay, a Security-Focused Infrastructure Engineer operating at the intersection of IT Operations and Security. I keep systems reliable while progressively hardening them to reduce risk without disrupting business operations.
In practice, this usually means I’m trusted with problems like:
- Secure infrastructure without slowing them down.
- Bridge IT operations and security teams.
- Prepare environments for audits long before they happen.
- Improve user security behavior through training & simulations.
- Resolve user and device issues across all support tiers (L1–L3).
- Coordinate with vendors and control operational costs.
- Deploy and monitor all OS endpoints and servers.
- Maintain IT Asset lifecycle visibility and control.
- Maintain and troubleshoot corporate network infrastructure.
