About

+

Hey, I'm Jonathan ๐Ÿ‘‹

- Hey, I'm Jonathan DeLeon โ€” a security engineer based in Boston, MA, - fighting evil one commit at a time. I specialize in cloud security, Kubernetes, and building - production-minded infrastructure with a security-first mindset. + Infrastructure & Security Engineer based out of Massachusetts. I've been in IT since 2016 โ€” + started pulling cable and troubleshooting end-users at a nonprofit, worked through sysadmin and + cloud security roles, and gradually shifted my focus toward platform engineering, automation, and + security architecture. The through-line has always been the same: make it more reliable, + more secure, and more automated than I found it.

+ +
+ +

What I'm building

+ +

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ pi-cluster โ€” GitOps Homelab (Active)

- This blog is my build log: raw notes from the trenches of learning GitOps, k3s, FluxCD, and - everything in between. If it's not committed, it doesn't exist. + A production-minded bare-metal ARM64 k3s cluster on a Raspberry Pi 4, managed entirely with + FluxCD. Git is the only source of truth โ€” if it's not in the repo, it doesn't exist.

- +
- Currently working on - Preparing for Azure Security Engineer and KCNA/KCSA certifications, while deepening my GitOps - practice with k3s and FluxCD. + This is where I experiment before I deploy at work. The tooling here maps directly to what production platform engineering looks like.

Certifications & Education

+

โ˜๏ธ serverless-api โ€” AWS Serverless + Security

+

+ Hardened serverless API on AWS using least-privilege IAM, CORS controls, secrets management, + and fully automated deployment via CI/CD. No manual steps post-deploy. +

+ +

๐ŸŽฎ enshrouded-docker โ€” Containerized Game Server (DevOps)

+

+ Immutable container infrastructure with runtime auto-update logic, semantic versioning, CI/CD + publishing via GitHub Actions, and non-root execution with minimal attack surface. Built through + real CI/CD failures โ€” Wine + Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 with WineHQ and Xvfb. +

+ +

๐Ÿ” SOAR + EDR Integration โ€” Security Automation

+

+ Automated security orchestration workflows integrating EDR with alerting pipelines โ€” custom + detection rules, response playbooks, and hardened cloud VMs for telemetry analysis. +

+ +
+ +

On the roadmap
