I build secure software products and Shopify apps from real seller needs.
What I'm looking for
I've led security, infrastructure, and enterprise product work at Microsoft and Samsara, including Office Secure by Default, Intune device management, software supply chain integrity, and least-privilege strategy. I bridge GTM plans and engineering realities to deliver high-profile cross-company projects under challenging constraints.
