Cybersecurity and Cloud Security Architect with deep expertise in Microsoft Entra, Identity Governance, Azure Security, and Archer GRC. Over the past decade, helped global organizations design and implement secure, scalable enterprise architectures across hybrid environments—bridging the gap between technical depth and business impact.My career has been defined by leading large-scale security programs, driving GRC transformation, and building resilient identity solutions that strengthen organizational security posture. I’m passionate about enabling incident response automation, embedding cloud security guardrails, and ensuring compliance without slowing innovation.Beyond architecture, I bring hands-on experience in Full Stack Development (.NET, Angular, Node.js), which allows me to design solutions that are not only secure but also practical and adaptable. I thrive at the intersection of technology, governance, and leadership, guiding cross-functional teams to deliver measurable outcomes. What drives me: advancing enterprise-wide security strategy, innovating with generative AI in cybersecurity, and mentoring teams to think beyond tools—toward resilience and trust. What I deliver: reduced risk exposure, stronger identity governance, and scalable security frameworks aligned with business goals.
