💫 About Me

👋 Hey, I’m Mcnigel73 (Simba)
💪🏾 DevOps Engineer thriving toward DevSecOps
📍 Australia
🔐 Cloud • Automation • Security • Identity

I’m a DevOps engineer with a strong security mindset, working at the intersection of automation, cloud infrastructure, and security engineering.

My long-term goal is to grow into DevSecOps, then Cloud/Security Architecture, and eventually transition deeper into security-focused roles.

I love automating anything that can be automated — especially when it makes systems more secure, observable, and scalable.
