PROFILE
Dave Richards
Contributed to the awslabs/landing-zone-accelerator-on-aws project by delivering security-focused infrastructure features and reliability improvements over a three-month period. Enhanced deployment consistency and VPC resource handling by refining cross-partition endpoint logic and stabilizing stack preparation through CIDR validation fixes. Strengthened AWS SSM Session Manager by refactoring IAM and KMS policies for robust, cross-region access control, reducing policy complexity and improving maintainability. Introduced account-level controls to block public access to SSM Documents, supporting both global and exclusion-based policies for compliance. Work was implemented using TypeScript, CloudFormation, and AWS SDKs, emphasizing Infrastructure as Code and secure, scalable cloud architecture practices.
