About Chris S.

As a Cloud & AI Cybersecurity Architect with over 14 years of experience, I specialize in securing hybrid cloud environments and integrating AI systems with strong cybersecurity controls — particularly in regulated sectors like finance and defense. I’ve architected secure infrastructures for the U.S. Army Enterprise Cloud Management Agency and the U.S. Air Force, deploying Zero Trust models, automating threat hunting, and aligning cloud operations with frameworks like NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, FFIEC, and GLBA. My expertise spans AWS, Azure, and GCP, with hands-on implementation of IAM, GuardDuty, Microsoft Sentinel, and secure MLOps pipelines. I’ve resolved high-impact AI/ML threats, engineered anomaly detection systems, and driven compliance policies that protect sensitive data in both federal and financial environments. Earlier in my career, I worked with Citibank Credit Card Services, gaining foundational insight into financial compliance, consumer privacy, and fraud prevention — experience that continues to inform my cybersecurity approach today.
