My 12+ year journey has evolved from a Software Developer focused on building core, scalable products to a Principal Cloud Security Engineer specialized in securing modern cloud infrastructure. Today, my focus is on securing Kubernetes and Azure/Hybrid Cloud environments. I actively lead initiatives in: Security Architecture: Designing and enforcing cloud security controls, performing threat modeling, and securing novel platforms, including AI banking. DevSecOps & Platform Automation: Implementing robust DevSecOps using Azure DevOps, Snyk, Fortify, and Sonarqube , and leading platform engineering teams. Cloud Data & Observability: Modernizing security monitoring for data platforms , handling high-volume logs , and driving data utilization with Kusto Query Language. From orchestrating seamless deployments across Azure PaaS to leading complex migrations , my diverse background ensures I deliver solutions that are not only secure and compliant but also reliable, efficient, and aligned with engineering best practices.
