I build secure, enterprise and endpoint security platforms for global enterprises.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead secure, reliable platform engineering work, build and mentor global teams, modernize critical systems, and apply AI across the SDLC while maintaining high standards for quality and security.

I'm leading JPMorgan Chase's firm-wide Network Security platform, aligning delivery with enterprise security and reliability goals. I built the Bangalore engineering team, took ownership from a US-based team, and provide hands-on architecture and engineering leadership.

Before JPMorgan Chase, I led HP's Windows Desktop Security platform across distributed teams in the US, UK, Brazil, and India. I helped deliver Windows security capabilities—including UEFI Secure Boot, TPM, device attestation, drivers, and system policies—to more than one million devices.

I've built secure, scalable services with C#/.NET, Python, PowerShell, AWS, MongoDB, Docker, microservices, and modern CI/CD practices. I focus on secure-by-design development, operational reliability, telemetry, testing, code reviews, root-cause analysis, and AI-enabled delivery throughout the SDLC.

Earlier, I led 3D simulation software development at Bluware and delivered desktop applications, SharePoint solutions, Windows services, build automation, and database reporting at Infosys. I enjoy building capable global teams, improving inefficient workflows, and working closely with product, architecture, DevOps, QA, privacy, and cybersecurity partners.
