What I'm looking for
As an accomplished Information Security Services Manager and Application Security Researcher, I have a proven track record of enhancing security protocols and developing innovative solutions that significantly improve product quality and client satisfaction. My recent role at Rainforest involved pioneering methods for SAST and SCA modules, which not only optimized our internal processes but also expanded our client base by 20% through the introduction of new detection rules for various programming languages.
With extensive experience in leading cybersecurity initiatives, I have successfully implemented security solutions in CI/CD pipelines and fostered a culture of security awareness among development teams. My tenure at TGroup/Confi saw a remarkable 48% increase in Information Security Maturity Level, driven by comprehensive training programs and strategic career development plans that reduced turnover by 80%. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive organizational success and ensure compliance with industry standards.
