Security engineer focused on shift-left, secure-by-design application security and threat modeling.
What I'm looking for
I am a security engineer with strong experience implementing, testing, and operating application security practices, threat modeling, and secure-by-design approaches across enterprise products. I have a track record of integrating security earlier in SDLC, establishing secure design reviews, founding Security Champions programs, and improving product security posture through tooling and process improvements.
My background includes building authentication and IAM frameworks, automating code signing and DevSecOps pipelines, running vulnerability management and bug bounty programs, and mentoring junior engineers. I have driven measurable improvements such as reduced fraud through risk-scoring APIs and adoption of SAST and threat modeling to catch issues prior to production.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
