At Bank of America, I lead enterprise security programs across application, infrastructure, network, architecture, operations, and risk teams. I translate security requirements into roadmaps, technical controls, implementation plans, and measurable compliance outcomes.

I directed three network-segmentation and hardening programs to full compliance, reduced attack surfaces, and created an implementation playbook that cut completion time by 40%. I also improved Splunk/SIEM threat-identification speed by 40%, reduced false positives by 25%, and helped reduce unauthorized access attempts by 30%.

Previously at Flexential, I managed and developed 8–10 professionals supporting 24x7 incident response and infrastructure operations. I built global incident-management, escalation, training, and knowledge-transfer processes that improved response speed, reduced critical-issue resolution time, and strengthened team performance.

I'm a CISSP-certified leader who combines hands-on security operations, firewall and infrastructure depth, risk management, and executive reporting. I enjoy building repeatable playbooks, mentoring teams, and driving accountable remediation across complex regulated environments.
