Steven Black · principal engineer at Rhythmic Technologies
I design, build, and secure cloud platforms as code, and help companies get ready for SOC 2. AWS is home (GovCloud included); I've also delivered on Azure and Oracle Cloud (OCI), and I'd like to do more on GCP.
- Cloud architecture: multi-account landing zones, Control Tower, Transit Gateway and hybrid networking
- Security & compliance: SOC 2 readiness assessments and audit prep, control implementation, IAM Identity Center, SCPs, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Secrets Manager/KMS, WAF
- AppSec: triaging scanner findings and guiding app teams on fixes
- Serverless: Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions
- IaC: Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Packer
- Pipelines: GitHub Actions, Atlantis, pre-commit
- Run it: ECS, EKS, Lambda, Datadog
Most of my work is in private client repos. Public Terraform modules I've built or maintained live under @rhythmictech.
