About
I'm Sushanta Saha, founder of Saha Consulting, Inc., with over 40 years of IT experience spanning IT security, enterprise database administration, and release management. Over that time I've supported on-premise and cloud database platforms, led security remediation efforts, automated database CI/CD pipelines, and helped organizations apply modern practices — including AI — to everyday IT operations.
I hold current certifications across AWS, Snowflake, Liquibase, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server (see Accomplishments below), and I write and maintain a set of practical IT security reference guides covering frameworks like OWASP and CWE, formal security models, and defense-in-depth architecture.
I'm currently available for short- and long-term consulting engagements. If your organization needs help with database security remediation, cloud or on-premise database support, release automation, or a knowledgeable second opinion on your security posture, I'd welcome the conversation — see Contact below.
