What I'm looking for

I'm open to connecting with professionals to discuss challenges and opportunities at the intersection of technology, law, and humanity, and to build a safer, more innovative future through secure-by-design technology.

At Dell Technologies, I architect and lead product security strategies protecting 10,000+ products and millions of users worldwide. I drive the enterprise-wide Open-Source Security program and develop security frameworks for AI/ML products, including ML-Sec-Ops.

I own the Open-Source Trustworthiness Project and SDL Control Catalog, contribute to the Pan-Dell Patent Review Committee, and advise on global cyber law compliance. Earlier at Dell, I provided security architecture and consulting for eSRS, SupportAssist, RSA Archer, SecureID, and VxRail.

My background spans product security leadership at OpenText, EMC, and Samsung, alongside security research and mentoring. With a PhD in Information Technology from IIT Kharagpur, I connect rigorous security research, cyber law, and scalable secure-by-design enterprise solutions.
