Security Lead at NXP Semiconductors driving enterprise AI assistant controls and Microsoft Purview data protection.

United States
Message

At NXP Semiconductors, I lead security program management across Digital Infrastructure, Cloud Platform Services, InfoSec, SOC, GRC, AppOps, and InfraOps. I define security requirements for AI assistants and agent integrations, focusing on connector scope, tenant controls, and classification labels.

I also lead the enterprise rollout of Microsoft Purview Information Protection across classification, sensitivity labeling, and DLP. My work establishes the data security posture that governs what connected services and AI assistants can surface.

Previously, as Principal Cloud Engineer - Security at NXP Semiconductors, I owned cloud security architecture across 300+ AWS accounts and 600+ cloud spaces, driving toward 95%+ compliance through automated controls and secure-by-default guardrails. I led a CrowdStrike CNAPP deployment protecting 12,000+ endpoints and architected Zero Trust SOC access patterns for AWS.

At Yugabyte, I led detection engineering with Panther SIEM and CrowdStrike Falcon, authoring Python detection rules and response automation that reduced incident response time by 75%. Earlier, at Nokia (Nuage Networks), I helped reduce operating costs by 30% through a migration from on-prem OpenStack to AWS.
