I’m a Cybersecurity Architect with a proven track record of reducing risk, scaling security, and driving automation across cloud-native environments. Over the past 3+ years, I’ve led efforts to eliminate over 90% of cloud misconfigurations, remediate hundreds of application vulnerabilities, and establish scalable, automation-driven security practices within my organization.

Whether it's automating 10-hour manual tasks down to 3 hours, hardening enterprise systems, or preparing for secure AI adoption, I focus on delivering security that works - fast, scalable, and audit-ready.
