About

Hey, I'm Vishnu.

I'm a Cloud & AI Engineer working at the intersection of AWS, security, and applied AI. I help teams ship secure, reliable cloud systems — and increasingly, AI agents that do real work in production.

At SUDO Consultants I work across cloud security, FinOps, and application modernization. I hold all 14 AWS certifications — which earned me the AWS Golden Jacket — along with credentials in Terraform, Vault, Fortinet, and Oracle Cloud. Multi-cloud, security-first.

Away from the console, I'm an AWS Community Builder (Security) — I write technical deep-dives, speak at AWS Community Days across India and internationally, and lead Golden Jackets India as Chapter Lead.

I've also built and published two open-source Kiro Powers — AWS Resilience Hub and AWS Security Analyzer — listed on kiro.dev/powers and used by developers worldwide. You can also load my vetted Agent Skills straight into your AI agent or IDE via skills.rest.

Key Highlights

Real-World Impact

🚨
Emergency DR Recovery with ColdSnap
Recovered 21 EBS snapshots (~7–10 TB) during a regional outage after every native AWS recovery path failed — using block-level EBS Direct API downloads. AWS Support confirmed no standard fix existed.
🔐
KMS Key Migration for VM Export
Unblocked a stalled VM Export caused by AWS-managed KMS encryption — re-keyed the snapshots to a customer-managed key and delivered the on-prem export successfully.
⚡
Kiro Power — AWS Resilience Hub
Built and published an open-source IDE integration that automates account-wide resilience scanning, failure-mode assessment, and cost-quantified remediation — bundling 4 MCP servers and 4 skills.
🛡️
Kiro Power — AWS Security Analyzer
Published a second open-source Kiro Power on kiro.dev/powers that scans an AWS account for security posture gaps directly from the IDE — surfacing misconfigurations, CIS-benchmark deviations, and prioritized remediation without leaving Kiro.
🤖
AWS Transform for Lambda Modernization
Used AWS Transform for customer Lambda runtime migration/modernization — upgrading legacy runtimes with automated code transformation powered by AWS's agentic AI service.
💰
AWS FinOps Agent Deployment
Deployed AWS's native FinOps Agent to automate customer cost reporting and drive cost optimization recommendations — enabling real-time spending visibility and actionable savings insights.
📁
AWS Transfer Family Web Apps
Set up AWS Transfer Family web apps for a customer — enabling secure, browser-based file sharing for the customer's front-end file exchange needs with S3 Access Grants and IAM Identity Center integration.
