Hi, I'm Anshul Awasthi
A seasoned DevSecOps Consultant with over 10 years of experience working at the intersection of development, operations, and security.
My Mission
"In the age of artificial intelligence and rapid technological transformation, my mission is to help organizations build systems that are not only fast and scalable, but also secure, ethical, and designed to empower people—not replace them."
My Journey
From software development roots to DevSecOps leadership
In the constantly evolving landscape of technology, my journey began with a deep curiosity for software development—a desire not just to write code, but to understand how systems behave, scale, and sometimes fail under real-world pressure.
Early on, I found joy in building things that worked. Over time, I became equally interested in why they worked, when they broke, and how they could be made more resilient.
"It was at this intersection—where efficiency, reliability, and security meet—that my passion for DevSecOps was ignited."
As my experience grew, I became acutely aware of the symbiotic relationship between strong development practices and uncompromising security principles. I saw firsthand how speed without safety creates fragility, and how security without empathy can slow innovation.
A Mindset Shift
Transitioning from a developer to a DevSecOps consultant was not merely about adopting new tools or frameworks. It was a mindset shift. It meant thinking holistically—about people, processes, and platforms together.
I began to see systems as living ecosystems, where collaboration matters as much as configuration, and where thoughtful automation can reduce not just operational risk, but also human stress and friction.
Building Expertise
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with large, complex infrastructures—automating deployments, strengthening CI/CD pipelines, and embedding security into the development lifecycle in a way that feels natural rather than intrusive. I take pride in helping teams move faster with confidence, ensuring that security becomes an enabler rather than a bottleneck.
Beyond Tools & Platforms
Beyond tools and platforms, I bring a strong belief in clarity, accountability, and continuous learning. I value systems that are observable, decisions that are explainable, and processes that respect both business goals and human limits.
Personal Growth
At a personal level, I am deeply invested in growth—technical, professional, and personal. I believe that resilience, curiosity, and integrity are just as important as architectural diagrams and deployment scripts.
Challenges have shaped my perspective, teaching me to approach problems calmly, think long-term, and design solutions that are sustainable, secure, and humane.
My Guiding Philosophy
Build systems that people can trust—systems that are fast, secure, transparent, and designed with intention.
Whether I am working with a startup or an enterprise, my goal remains the same—to create environments where innovation thrives safely, and teams feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.
What Drives Me
Security First
Security is not an afterthought—it's woven into every phase of development.
Human-Centered
Technology should empower teams, not overwhelm them—always design for people.
