SHLD builds high-assurance software for DoD, Intelligence Community, and government agencies. The stack reveals a mature, security-hardened CI/CD operation (Jenkins, SonarQube, Fortify, Robot Framework, Selenium) paired with multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, CloudFormation, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch). Active migration from Docker Swarm and Kubernetes to OpenShift—a shift toward air-gapped, compliance-first container orchestration typical of classified or restricted environments—while simultaneously scaling data ingest pipelines and database performance tuning.
