About Me

I design and build secure cloud and AI systems with an identity-first mindset that solves real problems. My work sits at the intersection of cloud engineering, application security, and detection-driven design.

My work centers on identity as the control plane for security decisions. I believe that effective detection requires understanding not just what happened, but who did it, what they were authorized to do, and whether the action aligns with their normal behavior patterns.

I bring both technical foundation and a security-first mindset to every project: I write production-ready code (Python & SQL), build reliable cloud systems and data pipelines, and treat security as fundamental from day one.

Currently seeking roles in detection engineering, AIoT security, or cloud security architecture where I can apply these principles to protect users and systems at scale.
