What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior cybersecurity opportunities focused on AI-driven threat detection, cloud security, Zero Trust, SOC automation, DevSecOps, and securing AI/LLM systems in enterprise environments.

At Personify Health, I lead AI-driven cybersecurity operations across healthcare cloud environments, building threat detection, SOAR automation, Zero Trust controls, and AI/LLM security safeguards. My work reduced detection time by approximately 40% and MTTR by 35%.

I've secured AWS, Azure, and GCP workloads; integrated XDR platforms; and strengthened identity governance across 5,000+ endpoints using Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint, MFA, and PIM. I also embed DevSecOps controls into CI/CD pipelines and drive vulnerability remediation within SLA.

Across Personify Health, the University of Michigan, Google, UnitedHealth Group, and Kshema General Insurance, I've delivered SOC, cloud, application, endpoint, and compliance security programs for healthcare, finance, and technology environments.
