Message

At Woven byToyota, I manage secure-device work across technical workstreams, from product roadmaps and delivery backlogs to executive reporting. I authored business requirements for Automated Certificate Lifecycle and Hardware Vending Machine initiatives and proposed consolidating trust architectures under a single Trust Anchor and Model.

Earlier at Woven byToyota, I developed a Scrum framework and centralized Jira board for Secure Foundations, and helped recover a distressed project through root-cause analysis and a reworked delivery roadmap. Across other projects, I delivered Microsoft 365 security solutions and managed a cloud contact center deployment for CIMB Bank Philippines.
