My areas of focus: → Cloud Security (CSPM, CIEM, CWP, Zero Trust) → Security Architecture & Engineering → Risk Management & Compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001) → AI/ML Security & Ethical AI Deployment → 5G & IoT Security → Threat Modeling & Incident Management I hold a Master's in Advanced Cybersecurity from King's College London (NCSC Certified, UK), and certifications including CISSP, Security+, and Network+ - applied daily, not just displayed.
