   Lead divisional programs across \"TechRisk, infrastructure governance, and SDLC\", ensuring alignment with firmwide security initiatives while driving sustainable remediation and long-term risk reduction. Trusted advisor to technology and business leadership on \"infrastructure, end-of-life planning, API security, and SDLC controls\"Key Contributions• Kong-based Authentication Solution – Partnered with IAM core team to adopt \"Kong API Gateway\" for standardized authentication across applications. Ensured OAuth/OIDC integration, reduced insecure credential use, and streamlined onboarding for divisional services, enabling \"faster adoption with lower security risk\".• TechRisk Functions – Directed divisional programs in \"Vulnerability Management, Insecure Credentials remediation, and Certificate/Secrets management\".• End-of-Life (EOL) Governance – Anchored divisional EOL remediation for \"infrastructure and middleware assets\"(e.g, RHEL, DB2, Sybase, WebSphere). Coordinated upgrade waves across 200+ applications.• Governance & Risk Alignment – Established \"divisional governance framework\" to report program health (green/amber/red), highlight escalations, and align with \"Divisional Risk Office (DRO)\" initiatives (FTP/HTTP remediation, encryption standards).• Infrastructure & SDLC SME – Recognized as divisional point of contact for \"Infra and SDLC practices\". Provided advisory on:* Cloud-native adoption, IaC (Terraform), and modernization patterns.* Secure SDLC checkpoints to prevent repeat findings.* Migration strategies balancing technical debt with delivery velocity.• Stakeholder Management & Team Enablement – Managed a team of 4–5, driving program ownership culture across TechRisk and Infra hygiene. Ensured each program had an identified \"anchor, escalation path, and SME coverage\", building resilience and continuity.
