What I'm looking for

I seek a senior cloud security role where I can lead IAM and Zero Trust initiatives, improve data governance, mentor teams, and drive secure cloud migrations within a collaborative, compliance-focused organisation.

I am a Senior Cloud Security Engineer with 6+ years securing Microsoft-centric cloud and hybrid environments for enterprise and mid-market organisations. I specialise in Identity & Access Management, Zero Trust architecture, Microsoft Entra ID, Intune MDM/MAM and Microsoft Purview data governance.

I have led enterprise IAM strategy, implemented Conditional Access and PIM, designed and deployed Intune MDM and MAM for multi-platform fleets, and delivered hybrid-to-cloud migration projects including Active Directory, Exchange and SharePoint modernisation. I strengthened privileged access governance, integrated device compliance with access controls, and remediated high-risk data exposures using DSPM insights.

I align security controls with business risk, compliance and operational resilience, act as a senior escalation point for complex incidents across APAC, and automate repeatable tasks with PowerShell to improve security posture and operational efficiency.
