Secure Container Pipeline

Overview

Designed and deployed a secure CI/CD pipeline for SaaS applications running on Kubernetes. Integrated Tekton pipelines with the Cosign ecosystem to enforce container signing and verification, automated SBOM generation, and applied policy-as-code with Kyverno for deployment gating. Implemented continuous compliance checks and artifact provenance tracking across the pipeline.

Role

Director serving as lead architect while DevSecOps teams operated the platform.

Impact

Established a hardened software delivery pipeline that improved release confidence, blocked unsigned or non-compliant artifacts from production, and reduced supply chain risks by 70%. Enabled security and DevOps teams to collaborate on auditable, policy-driven releases.
