PROFILE

Bouhmadi Kacem

Worked on the DataDog/documentation and DataDog/cloudformation-template repositories to enhance agentless cloud security workflows across AWS and Azure. Delivered five features over four months, focusing on documentation clarity, onboarding, and security hardening. Used Markdown, YAML, and CloudFormation to update onboarding guides, clarify resource filtering, and align permissions with least-privilege IAM best practices. Expanded support to Azure by documenting onboarding with Azure Resource Manager and Terraform, and optimized AWS deployments by updating default EC2 instance types for cost efficiency. The work emphasized maintainability, reduced misconfiguration risk, and improved customer adoption by ensuring documentation and infrastructure templates remained accurate and actionable.
