What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud security roles where I can lead cloud security architecture, automate compliance, harden CI/CD pipelines, and protect regulated data in high-stakes environments.

I am a results-driven Senior Cloud Security Engineer with 9+ years of experience advancing from IT infrastructure and security operations into specialized cloud security roles across aerospace, defense, federal government, and fintech sectors.

I have deep hands-on expertise architecting and operationalizing cloud security programs covering CSPM, IAM, container security, CI/CD pipeline hardening, DevSecOps, and compliance automation across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I build security platforms from the ground up and automate compliance at scale — examples include CMMC and FedRAMP automation, ITAR data protection using KMS/Key Vault, and PCI DSS controls for payment systems.

I am a practitioner who delivers measurable outcomes: hardened pipelines, IaC security pipelines, unified CSPM visibility, automated detection and response, and reusable security automation frameworks using Python and serverless tooling.
