Sonny Enchill

A DevOps and cybersecurity professional with a foundation that most candidates in this space simply do not have: 19 years of hands-on enterprise IT experience, the last decade spent as the sole owner of cybersecurity posture, cloud transformation, and IT governance for a regulated financial services organisation reporting directly to the board.

That background — accountability for security in a regulated environment, not just exposure to it — is what I bring into my next role. Combined with an awarded MSc in Cybersecurity and current hands-on DevOps engineering, I now operate at the intersection of security operations, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps delivery.

Leaving a senior IT leadership role to pursue an MSc and rebuild as a hands-on technical practitioner was a deliberate decision, not a drift. I wanted to move from managing security policy to doing security work — from overseeing cloud adoption to architecting and deploying cloud infrastructure myself.

MSc Cybersecurity covering incident response, SIEM, digital forensics, penetration testing, threat modelling, and cloud security — awarded 2025. Alongside that, a series of production-grade DevOps assignments across AWS, Azure, and Terraform — building systems from scratch, breaking them deliberately, and fixing them under operational discipline.
