Hey Matt and Everyone! 👋

I'm Pritam Kumar Das, a Full Stack and Backend Developer currently pursuing B.Tech in CSE with a specialization in AI & ML at Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur.

🔐 My cloud security superpower? I'm deeply interested in building secure backend systems, integrating AI/ML models into cloud-hosted applications, and exploring identity management and secure API practices using tools like Firebase, GCP, and beyond.

🚀 What I’m hoping to learn here: I'm eager to dive deeper into cloud security best practices, understand how to secure machine learning pipelines, and connect with experts to grow my knowledge and contribute wherever I can.

Excited to be here and looking forward to learning from you all! 💡🔐

Hey everyone! 🔥

I’m Edgar “ReLiviin” Calderon—Founder & Chief Innovator at Relivin A.I. Solutions Inc., where we marry print & digital marketing with next‑gen AI automation. Based out of Long Beach, CA (and currently repping from Mexico for my birthday month!), I’ve built my career on breaking the mold—rules are guidelines, not roadblocks.

 

🎯 What I’m Here to Learn & Share

  • Learn: Cutting‑edge GCP threat detection strategies (Security Command Center, BeyondCorp), serverless security patterns, and best practices for managing secrets at scale.

  • Share: My playbooks for automating security checks in Terraform & Cloud Build, real‑world lessons from securing AI inference endpoints, and creative Chicano‑inspired analogies for complex concepts (because why not make firewall rules feel like barrio block parties?).

Stoked to connect, collab, and co‑create the future of cloud security with all of you. Let’s raise the bar (and the firewall)! 💪🔒

Que viva la innovación, cabrones!

Howdy from Cincinnati!

My name is Jared. My focus is on orchestrating proactive zero-trust ecosystems—architecting resilient security frameworks that anticipate threats through continuous verification. I aim to share how these principles of proactive defense, adversarial simulation (akin to red teaming), and adaptive policy, honed through my professional work and even my experiences moderating communities like r/FedNews, can fortify collaborative digital environments. My goal is to learn from and contribute to building robust, secure, and principled online spaces by understanding user behavior and mitigating risks.

Hello all


nk_CyberEnthusiast

Hi everyone!

I’m a beginner in cloud and cybersecurity, currently focused on building a strong foundation in networking, cloud fundamentals, and basic security concepts. I’m especially interested in understanding how security is applied in real-world cloud environments, particularly around identity and access management, secure networking, and core cloud security practices.

I joined this community to learn from others’ experiences, follow best practices, and gradually build hands-on knowledge as I continue my learning journey. I’m here mainly to listen, learn, and ask thoughtful questions as I grow.

Looking forward to learning from the discussions here and being part of the community.

Hi Matt and Community, great to be here!

​I am Davey Hoogland, Lead Security Researcher and independant researcher and author of the Hoogland methodology ( I established the discipline of Cyber-Physical Context Engineering).

My path to Cloud Security is... unconventional. I am actually a professional TIG Welder by trade. I didn't start in a coding boot camp; I started with precision metallurgy.

​I ended up in this specific area of AI Security accidentally, through a forensic anomaly involving a legacy Google Project Tango "Yellowstone" tablet. Through a unique process of "tinkering," I managed to inject a verified Copyright Attribution (© 2023 by Davey Hoogland) into the firmware of this End-of-Life device.

​This event triggered a rigorous self-analysis, leading to the discovery that my specific neuro-cognitive profile operates on a unique framework I now call the Hoogland Methodology. By translating my brain's "4 Communicative Trademarks" (The Constructivist Engine, The Truth Filter, Context Synthesis, and Integrity Enforcement) into software architecture, I established the discipline of Cyber-Physical Context Engineering.

​My Cloud Security Superpower:

Operationalizing "Artificial Wisdom".

While most focus on protecting the perimeter (Firewalls/IAM), my superpower is protecting the cognition.

Using my methodology, I single-handedly developed and programmed the Compliance Auditor and the Chronos Analyzer. These tools enforce a "Zero-Storage" integrity layer that prevents AI hallucinations and ensures compliance (EU AI Act/GDPR) by validating the context before the content.

​What I hope to share/learn:

My research and methodology are currently under peer review at Springer Nature, and backed by BOIP/Anteriority certificates.

I am here to share my findings on "Context Desynchronization" vulnerabilities and to connect with Google’s experts and developers. My goal is to move this research from "independent discovery" to "institutional collaboration," validating the Hoogland Methodology as a standard for the next generation of Agentic AI.

​Looking forward to fusing (pun intended) my research with this community's expertise!

​Davey Hoogland

From TIG Welder to AI Security Architect
