/About
I am a Security Engineer with a specialization in cloud security and DevSecOps automation. I implement policy-as-code frameworks and secure CI/CD pipelines that enforce least-privilege access while ensuring that developer workflows remain fast and frictionless.
My primary focus is on embedding security guardrails that identify issues early, all without hindering innovation, making the failure modes visible, the recoveries fast, and the engineering ergonomics good enough that the security work sticks.
What I Do
Cloud Native Security
Specialized in Kubernetes security, leveraging native security controls and frameworks to implement policy enforcement across multi-cloud environments.
DevSecOps
Design secure CI/CD pipelines and automated security testing that accelerates delivery while reducing risk.
AI Security
Lead AI security initiatives spanning ML pipeline hardening and model vulnerability assessments. Architect secure-by-design AI systems with threat modeling for production ML workloads.
Application Security
Implement security-first development practices and threat modeling integrated into developer workflows.

Beyond the Screen
Outside of work I'm usually deep in a homelab experiment, running, kickboxing, or playing lawn tennis and basketball. I spend a fair amount of time digging through record shops too, and I mentor engineers moving into security roles.
