I am proficient with advanced tools and methodologies such as CrowdStrike and Cobalt Strike, enabling me to deliver robust security solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with leading firms like Wipro Technologies and Accenture, where I led teams of talented security professionals.

Currently, as an Information Security Lead at S&P Global, I focus on technical research and vulnerability management, staying ahead of emerging threats and continuously enhancing our security posture. One of the aspects of my work that I am most passionate about is the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats. The rapid advancement of technology, particularly in the realms of IoT and AI, presents both opportunities and challenges for security professionals. My experience in IoT security has given me valuable insights into the unique vulnerabilities of connected devices and the critical importance of securing them against potential attacks.

I have delivered numerous presentations at industry conferences, discussing the latest trends and best practices in cybersecurity. I believe that effective security solutions must be tailored to the specific needs and risk profiles of each organization. This requires a deep understanding of the client’s business, as well as the ability to anticipate and respond to evolving threats. By working closely with clients, I strive to build long-term partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. Leading and mentoring teams of security professionals has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. I take great pride in fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment, where team members feel empowered to share their ideas and contribute to our collective success.
