Bonjour, I'm Arjuna
I'm a Master of None, but a relentless problem solver. Technical or non-technical, if there's a problem, I've already got six tabs open looking for answers. I love finding the right tools, connecting the dots, and building solutions that actually work. Give me a challenge and a cup of coffee, and I'll figure the rest out.

- Building out existing AWS services into a new region. "It works in us-east-1" is not a valid excuse.
- Working closely with Security services, leveraging a cybersecurity background that refuses to collect dust.
Systems Analyst
May 2024 · May 2025AI2 Engineer · May to Sep 2024
- Spent the first few months "skilling up on AWS", which is corporate speak for drinking from a firehose while pretending you're not drowning. Spoiler: I swam.
S3 Team, Virginia · Sep 2024 to Apr 2025
- First 3.5 months as an operational engineer, burning down tickets, keeping storage alive across multiple AZs and regions. The kind of work where "it's fine" means you did your job perfectly and nobody noticed.
- Held on-call during UK hours, giving my US counterparts the rare gift of uninterrupted sleep. You're welcome, America.
- Next 3.5 months shifted to automation. Sharpened Python skills to build tooling that helped engineers work smarter, not harder. Also built Grafana dashboards, because if it's not on a dashboard, did it even happen?

SIEM Engineer
Jun 2022 · Dec 2023- Went an inch wide and a mile deep into SIEM, specifically LogRhythm. Started as a junior engineer learning from SOC Gods, ended up as the SME that people came to when things needed figuring out.
- Got promoted from "the new guy" to SIEM integrator on a major project. Turns out, Arjuna isn't just a pretty face.
- Transitioned to contractor, worked alongside other SME geniuses, and discovered just how much tax you pay when you're good at your job. Loved every second of it (except the tax part).
Security Solutions Architect
Nov 2021 · Jun 2022- First job out of university. Trained a mile wide but an inch deep across general cybersecurity. Enough to know what I didn't know, and hungry enough to fix that.
- Found my niche and never looked back.

Brunel University of London
BSc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
- Four years that changed everything. Finally studying something I genuinely enjoyed, and the results showed.
- Dissertation focused on Computational Linguistics, comparing languages and deducing ancestral roots through pairwise comparison of phonemes. Built the entire program in Java.
- Played a key role in the Tennis Society, holding positions as Chairman, Treasurer, and Secretary across multiple years.
- Made lifelong friends, found the love of my life, and had the best four years I could have asked for.
Why Pennies Make a Pound?
There's an old British proverb: "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves." It's the idea that greatness isn't built in a single moment. It's built in the small, boring, consistent steps that nobody sees. That's how I approach everything. Learn one thing today, solve one problem tomorrow, and before you know it, the pennies have made a pound.
I'm also extremely lucky. I don't just mean right-place-right-time lucky. I mean the kind of luck that makes you stop and think "how did that just happen?" I attract it. I can't explain it, but I've learned to trust it.
Everything I want, wants me more.
