About Me

I'm a Software Engineer with a specialized focus on cybersecurity, infrastructure automation, and DevOps. Over the past 6 years, I've built a career on the principle that systems should be secure by default. I specialize in integrating secure coding practices and automated security tools directly into the development lifecycle—from pre-commit hooks and secret detection to remediating critical CVEs for SOC 2 compliance. My experience spans from low-level OS customization to architecting automated, hardened cloud environments on AWS, ensuring that every deployment is as resilient as it is efficient.
