Design and manage fully automated pipelines using AWS CodeCommit, CodeBuild, and CodePipeline.
Integrate automated security scanning tools (SAST/DAST) directly into the build process. If the code fails a SonarQube scan or has a high-severity CVE, the pipeline must break.

Configure CloudTrail and Redshift Audit Logging to capture every query run against the data warehouse for compliance audits.
Aggregate logs from CloudWatch, GuardDuty, and Security Hub to provide a real-time "single pane of glass" view of the system's security posture.

Primary Objectives: Assist in the Discovery Phase activities of gathering user requirements, business analysis, legacy system analysis, Epic/Story creation, external data integration planning, and product backlog management.
