What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can embed security into product development, lead cloud risk reduction, build automation, and mentor engineering teams while supporting fast-paced, impact-driven environments.

I am a Security Engineer with 6+ years owning end-to-end security across cloud infrastructure, secure SDLC, and incident response at Amazon scale. I bring an attacker’s mindset to cloud security design, threat modeling, and vulnerability management, translating technical risk into engineering outcomes.

I have designed and implemented cloud security controls across 100+ internal AWS services, conducted threat modeling for 300+ cloud resources, and triaged 134 high-severity incidents end-to-end. I built Python-based automations and CI/CD-integrated tooling that reduced false positives by 47% and saved my team 14 hours per week.

I collaborate closely with engineering and QA teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines, educate developers on secure coding and OWASP best practices, and align security programs with NIST and OWASP frameworks to balance product velocity with strong security outcomes.
