What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead security architecture, cloud resilience, AI governance, and cyber transformation programs where I can partner with technical and business teams to deliver measurable risk reduction and secure technology adoption.

At Nokia, I lead enterprise security architecture and change governance across platforms including Salesforce, SAP, Workday, Certinia PSA, ITSM, cloud environments, and AI tooling. I chair CAB-aligned architecture reviews, map changes to NIST, ISO 27001, OWASP, and CIS Controls, and turn security requirements into audit-ready governance.

I’ve delivered security programs spanning encryption and post-quantum cryptography, firewall remediation, SIEM and CrowdStrike logging, AI governance, vulnerability disclosure, RBAC, incident response, cloud security posture management, API security, DMARC, cyber resilience, penetration testing, and threat intelligence. My work has reduced attack surface, improved detection coverage, strengthened least-privilege access, and helped teams scale secure technology adoption.

Earlier, I supported security engineering at Medpace and Compucom Systems and built web and mobile applications at Watoto. I bring hands-on experience across cloud, infrastructure, security operations, web development, Agile delivery, and stakeholder collaboration.
