WHO IS
KEITH ANDERSON

I'm a Cloud Security Engineer with 7 years of experience securing federal cloud environments — and a music producer with 1,000+ sync placements on Netflix, ESPN, NBC, CBS, Showtime, and more.

I operate at the intersection of technology and creative media. By day I design zero-trust architectures, build IAM pipelines, and manage CI/CD workflows for federal clients in AWS GovCloud. By night I produce sync-ready music under the brand K3lvin Kaos — placed across major networks, streaming platforms, and national ad campaigns.

Both worlds reward the same thing: clean systems that scale, attention to detail, and building things that work under pressure. I don't fit in one box. I never have.

WORK

REACT · NETLIFY · CLOUDFLARE
K3lvin Kaos Music Portfolio

Full production music and sync licensing portfolio site. Migrated from a $496/year Wix platform to a lean $84/year DevOps stack without sacrificing design quality.

  • CI/CD pipeline: Lovable + Claude Code → GitHub → Netlify (auto-deploys in 60s)
  • Cloudflare DNS with DDoS protection and enterprise-grade routing
  • Integrated shop with Gumroad, Calendly booking, and email capture
  • Separation of concerns across every layer — same principle as zero-trust architecture
ANSIBLE · IAM · AUTOMATION
Ansible User Migration Pipeline

Designed and implemented an Ansible-based automated user migration system for a federal client — moving users across environments at scale while maintaining access control integrity.

  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning workflows reducing manual admin time
  • Integrated with existing IAM policies maintaining least-privilege access throughout
  • Fully documented for ATO compliance and audit trail requirements
  • Reusable playbook structure adaptable across multiple system types

⚠️ Sensitive client details omitted per clearance requirements

GITLAB · CI/CD · DEVSECOPS
Classification-Level CI/CD Pipeline

Architected and managed a CI/CD pipeline system spanning multiple classification levels — enabling secure, controlled code deployment from development through production.

  • Designed pipeline architecture enforcing strict separation between classification levels
  • Established GitLab as team standard for version control across the program
  • Integrated automated security checks at each stage before code promotion
  • Standardized release processes and reduced deployment errors across the team

K3LVIN KAOS —
THE MUSIC SIDE

This is where the two worlds collide.

Under the brand K3lvin Kaos, I produce sync-ready music for film, television, advertising, and digital media. With 1,000+ placements across major networks, the catalog spans cinematic hip-hop, epic hip-hop, R&B & soul, and sports promos — all one-stop clearance.

The same engineering discipline I bring to federal cloud environments applies to how I run my music business. Custom data dashboards for placement tracking. AI-assisted production workflows. A website built on the same DevOps stack I use professionally.

ACADEMIC
BACKGROUND

🎓
Bachelor of Arts — Communications
Morgan State University · Baltimore, MD

Studied communications with a focus on media, messaging, and storytelling — foundational skills that directly inform how I communicate complex technical concepts and position music for sync licensing opportunities. Morgan State's communications program built the bridge between technical precision and creative expression that defines my work today.

LET'S
CONNECT

Whether it's cloud security, music licensing, or building something at the intersection of both — I'm open to conversations.

I bring a unique perspective to every project: the discipline of a federal security engineer and the creative instinct of a music producer with over a thousand sync placements.
