Katherine Schlosser
DevSecOps Engineer | Kubernetes Security | AI-Driven Automation | Open to Remote
I build security-first, edge-to-cloud systems for environments where failure isn't an option.
Featured Work
Security-First Infrastructure
Warden — Self-Healing Kubernetes Security Agent
AI-driven threat triage and auto-remediation on AKS — two-layer security proven end-to-end for ~$2
Covenant — Policy-Enforced AI Access Control
OPA as the hard gate between JWT identity and Claude — the AI doesn't decide who sees what
Watershed — Edge-Resilient IoT Telemetry Pipeline
Async Python agent with offline buffering and AI anomaly detection — built for edge environments where connectivity is unreliable
About Me
I'm a Métis DevSecOps engineer building secure, AI-augmented infrastructure with a rural-first bias. My work covers Kubernetes runtime security (Falco, OPA Gatekeeper), policy-enforced AI access control, and AI-driven anomaly detection on edge telemetry — systems built to hold under connectivity loss and stay honest when AI is in the loop. I come from agricultural and remote communities, and I build with a bias toward calm, reliable systems over clever, fragile ones.
