I specialize in designing secure solutions to automate security compliance and safeguard mission-critical AWS cloud systems. My work focuses on driving risk mitigation, adopting the Well-Architected Framework, and aligning security strategy with business goals across large-scale cloud environments.Previously, I served as a Security Consultant at AWS Professional Services, where I guided enterprises through securing their AWS journeys and leading cross-functional teams to mature cloud security postures. Earlier roles include leading application security and SDLC initiatives at Arctic Wolf and conducting penetration tests and compliance audits at IBM, where I architected enterprise-wide AppSec solutions.With a Master of Science in Information Security from Northeastern University and 10+ years in cybersecurity, I’m passionate about secure-by-design development and empowering teams to embed security seamlessly into every phase of the development lifecycle.
