Message

At Veriforce, I designed an Azure Platform Governance Framework with Terraform and Azure Policy, establishing reusable guardrails and compliance checks for enterprise cloud workloads. I also automated infrastructure delivery with Azure DevOps, Git, template validation, and policy testing.

I implemented identity lifecycle controls with Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, and PIM, and built security remediation workflows connecting Microsoft Defender for Cloud findings to prioritized owner actions. Across my roles at GE Power, GE Oil & Gas, GE Capital, and Navy Enterprise Data Center (NEDC), I worked on infrastructure provisioning, service operations, incident response, and security controls.
