What I'm looking for

I seek impactful roles building secure, scalable systems—ideally R&D or architecture-focused positions that combine applied research, product collaboration, and mentoring.

I am a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer with extensive R&D experience delivering distributed ledger-based security systems, industrial deployments, and patented innovations. I led multi-year initiatives from architecture to production, mentored interns, and coordinated cross-functional teams to align research with product requirements.

My work spans secure patch management for virtualized 5G networks, DLT-powered access control for smart factories, NFC protection, and robotic control security; I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, multiple granted patents, and a strong publication record demonstrating applied research and industry impact.
