Lead a team of DevOps, software, enterprise IT and Security engineers providing an enterprise SecDevOps tool suite and the Leidos "portable" SecDevOps (pSDO) capabilities. The pSDO solution provides a modular, extensible Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach for automating the deployment of Agile tools and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deliver (CI/CD) toolchains to meet customer driven requirements. The Leidos pSDO CI/CD secure development environment has dozens of deployments, supports over 200 Leidos programs, and provides software development capabilities that are used by over 5000 Leidos engineers daily. Our CI/CD deployments overachieve in implementation of security, speed and scale. Lead development, management and sustainment of rapid, automated deployment of container based DevOps solutions using an IaC, Configuration as Code (CaC), and Security as Code (SaC) approach. The pSDO leverages Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible and Helm to automate provisioning and configuration of secure infrastructure and DevOps CI/CD tools deployed within containers running in a CNCF Kubernetes cluster. Meet regularly with our CIO, CISO, CTO and Leidos solution architects to establish requirements, plan, review, baseline and continuously evaluate our SecDevOps solutions to ensure our CI/CD deployments enable secure software supply chains, continuous software security, and implementation of secure development environments. Conduct a weekly community of practice exchange with our Software Factory leads and DevOps engineers to ensure that our CI/CD deployments are meeting customer requirements and to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Lead development of Leidos automation code to ensure configuration consistency, speed of deployment, and secure deployments that run in highly controlled Leidos managed environments in AWS, Azure or VMware, and that our CI/CD deployments meet FedRAMP, NIST and FIPS requirements.
