What I'm looking for

I'm looking for cloud security architecture or leadership opportunities where I can shape secure cloud strategy, governance, risk controls, and security-by-design practices, including roles open to UAE/GCC relocation or visa sponsorship.

I've led cloud security strategy and architecture for Wipro, US Foods, HPE, and South Indian Bank, securing multi-account AWS environments and aligning platforms with CIS, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, RBI, and NIST requirements. At Wipro, I modernized AWS WAF rules for 100% coverage of in-scope internet-facing applications and delivered over USD 500K in annual cloud cost savings.

I combine hands-on AWS security engineering with governance, risk management, audit support, and executive reporting. I've designed landing zones, migrated critical banking workloads, built threat-hunting and incident-response playbooks, strengthened payment security, and mentored cloud and security engineers.
