ABOUT ME
Staff Cybersecurity Engineer
Staff Cybersecurity Engineer

I am an experienced security engineer and technology professional with an expert level of technical
skills and a proven record of consistently delivering business value for clients.

My experience ranges across security engineering, cloud security, and full-stack development, and I specialize in tools such as Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform. I have successfully secured and optimized infrastructure and implemented security measures for clients, while integrating third-party systems and ensuring regulatory compliance, like FedRAMP and ISO 217001.

I truly believe that a good combination of technical excellence and interpersonal skills is key to
delivering meaningful results in today’s landscape. If you are seeking a technical expert who can
bridge the gap between technology and business, while adding some laughter into the mix, then let’s
have a chat!
