With 16+ years in information security, I operate at the intersection of Application Security, Cloud Security, and emerging AI-driven engineering practices. As a Principal Security Engineer, I lead enterprise security strategy across vulnerability management, DevSecOps, and secure-by-default platform design. I focus on translating security from a bottleneck into an enabler—leveraging AI-driven automation, data-backed decision making, and scalable tooling to reduce noise, accelerate remediation, and improve developer productivity. My work includes driving rapid experimentation (fail-fast/scale-fast), building agent-based workflows to validate security fixes, and enabling safe adoption of AI within engineering environments. I partner closely with engineering, product, and leadership to define risk thresholds, establish governance models, and deliver measurable outcomes through KPIs and OKRs. My approach combines deep technical expertise with pragmatic execution to improve security posture without slowing down innovation. I specialize in building and scaling security programs that align with business goals—embedding security into the development lifecycle, modernizing tooling ecosystems, and enabling teams to move fast with confidence.
