What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead product cybersecurity architecture and secure-development programs for connected, embedded, industrial, or regulated products, translating standards and regulatory requirements into practical engineering outcomes.

At eInfochips (Arrow), I lead product security delivery and consulting for embedded, IoT, industrial, mobility, and medical products. I manage a 15–20 member cybersecurity team and translate IEC 62443, CRA, RED, and EN 18031 requirements into engineering controls and auditable evidence.

Across 14 years in cybersecurity, I've advanced from threat and vulnerability research at Sophos/Cyberoam and Versa Networks to healthcare security at eClinicalWorks and product security leadership. I build secure lifecycles, threat models, risk assessments, VAPT plans, and remediation programs spanning hardware, firmware, mobile, web, API, cloud, and network attack surfaces.
