What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Lead Security Engineer role where I can design Zero Trust and security control architectures, lead detection and incident response readiness, and translate risk into implementable guardrails and stakeholder-ready remediation guidance.

I’m a security engineer and architect with 10+ years protecting healthcare, research, enterprise, and government environments where outages, data loss, and weak controls have immediate consequences. I provide security consultation and practical guidance across Zero Trust, network, cloud, identity, data protection, application security, detection, and incident response—translating risk into clear architecture decisions, guardrails, remediation priorities, and stakeholder-ready guidance.

In my recent roles, I’ve engineered security architectures and control integrations across large healthcare and research environments, led alert triage and incident command support by correlating SIEM, EDR/XDR, NDR, and network logs, and guided teams with architecture tradeoffs that connect technical decisions to patient safety and service availability. I’ve also driven high-impact protections such as reducing malicious traffic by approximately 95% through Imperva WAF policy design while preserving access to clinical workflows, and I’m known for turning technical findings into actionable ownership and remediation paths.
