What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can teach and mentor while owning IT infrastructure, ERP support, vendor/SLA delivery, and enterprise security—collaborating with diverse teams and continuing my AI/ML and cloud research.

I’m an Assistant Professor in the CSE Department (Applied Sciences), bringing real-world infrastructure, security, and vendor management expertise into the classroom. In my current role, I develop and implement IT infrastructure strategy aligned with organizational goals, manage local and international vendors with SLAs, and enforce access-control and data/system policies.

Across my IT operations leadership experience, I’ve focused on strategic planning, project coordination, and compliance-driven security. I’ve also led a company-wide least-privilege rollout that cut security risk by 90% and supported enterprise stakeholders through program governance across culturally diverse global teams, including US and Japan headquarters.

I’m also an active researcher with multiple published books, book chapters, and Scopus/IEEE-indexed papers spanning AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and data security. My professional ethos is simple: combine rigorous execution with strong communication and mentorship to help teams and students build practical, secure, future-ready capabilities.
