About Me
Building Secure Systems at Scale
I'm a security engineer with 8+ years of experience designing and implementing security architectures for cloud-native environments. My work spans Fortune 500 enterprises and fast-moving startups.
I believe security should be an enabler, not a blocker. My approach integrates security natively into the development lifecycle — shifting left without slowing teams down.
When I'm not hardening infrastructure, I write about the evolving threat landscape, cloud security patterns, and practical DevSecOps on this blog.
