Welcome to My Portfolio Website

Hello — I’m Samson Adewale, a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer specializing in Cloud Security, DevSecOps, and Cloud-Native architectures. If you’re here, you likely care about building secure systems, pushing innovation in security operations, or exploring how AI / LLMs can transform the way we defend infrastructure.

Over my years in this field, I’ve seen a lot of change: new threats, evolving tools, shifting paradigms. This site is my space to share what works, what doesn’t, and what I believe the future holds. I want it to be useful to you — whether you’re a developer, defender, DevOps engineer, or just curious.

What You’ll Find Here

Here’s the kind of content I’ll be posting, regularly:

  • Technical Projects & Case Studies – real work I’ve done: building secure platforms, cloud infrastructure, incident response tooling, automations.
  • Hands-On Tutorials & Deep Dives – things like securing CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes hardening, observability, managing cloud drift.
  • Thought Leadership & Industry Trends – reflections on where security operations have been, where they are now, what’s ahead (particularly around AI, automation, threat detection, cloud-native security).
  • Lessons from the Field – mistakes, surprises, wins; what I learned building and defending at scale.
  • Resources & Recommendations – tools, papers, open-source projects, learning paths I’ve found helpful.

My Main Focus Areas

These are the technical domains and themes that I live in, where most of my work and writing will center.

  • Cloud Security – identity & access management, data protection & encryption, network segmentation, governance & compliance across AWS, Azure, GCP, hybrid & multi-cloud setups.
  • DevSecOps – integrating security early and often in development, IaC scanning, automated testing, building security into deployment pipelines, vulnerability management.
  • Cloud-Native Architecture – containers, Kubernetes, service meshes, serverless, runtime security, observability, drift detection and securing ephemeral and dynamic infrastructure.
  • AI & LLMs in Security Operations – automating threat detection, improving alert triage, accelerating response, improving context awareness, while carefully managing ethics, trust, errors.

What’s Coming Soon

To give you a taste, here are some upcoming posts:

  1. SecOps Challenges Today: alert fatigue, tool sprawl, balancing speed with safety.
  2. Automation & AI Case Studies: building a tool / pipeline that reduced response time by X, or detecting misconfigurations proactively.
  3. Tutorials: secure IaC practices, setting up observability for cloud-native workloads, building safe automated remediation workflows.
  4. Thinking Ahead: predictions for threat-landscape shifts, cloud-native security’s next frontiers, what happens when AI plays a bigger role in SecOps.

Why I Built This

I built this site because I believe defensive security must evolve continuously. Attackers are innovating. Infrastructure is shifting (cloud, hybrid, serverless). Scale is increasing. If we don’t adapt, we’ll always be a step behind.

This is also a promise to myself — to keep learning, push boundaries, document what I try (successes and failures), and share. And if something I write helps you — gives you an insight, saves you time, inspires you — that’s a win.

Let’s Connect & Collaborate

Security is a team sport. I want to hear from you — fellow engineers, builders, defenders, dreamers. Feedback, questions, ideas, war stories — all welcome.

If you see a post idea you’d like me to dig into, or want to collaborate on a project or tooling, drop me a line.

This is just the beginning. Thanks for coming by — let’s build, defend, and explore together.
