Security Engineer | Cloud Security • Application Security • DevSecOps • FedRAMP Operations

I build secure, reliable systems and investigate the difficult problems when they fail.

I’m Jordan Robison, a hands-on security and infrastructure engineer with more than 10 years of experience across cloud engineering, application security, DevSecOps, site reliability, observability, and regulated SaaS operations.

I work across AWS, GCP, Linux, containers, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, security tooling, and production telemetry to turn complex technical problems into practical solutions.

Professional Profile

Security and infrastructure work, written for people who need to decide quickly whether the depth is real.

Jordan Robison portrait
Austin-based, technical, and generally happiest when debugging something that does not want to be debugged.

I am a hands-on security and infrastructure engineer with more than 10 years of progressive experience across cloud engineering, site reliability, application security, DevSecOps, and regulated SaaS operations.

My work sits at the intersection of security, infrastructure, software delivery, and production operations. I build practical controls, automation, and investigation workflows across AWS, GCP, Linux, containers, CI/CD systems, observability platforms, and modern software environments.

I am trusted to take ownership of ambiguous production problems, connect evidence across complex systems, and translate technical risk into clear action for engineers, customers, auditors, and leadership.

I bring a builder’s mindset, a calm troubleshooting style, and genuine curiosity about how systems fail and how to make them stronger.

  • Hands-on across security engineering, cloud operations, and incident investigation.
  • Comfortable in regulated environments where evidence, documentation, and judgment matter.
  • Known for practical automation, clear communication, and steady follow-through.
