I'm a Security Engineer with a degree in Computer Science and a former SOC analyst focused on detection and response, cloud security, and building automation that keeps systems secure without slowing teams down. I thrive in fast-paced hypergrowth startup environments and serve as a technical advisory board member and speaker at security events, sharing practical ways to build scalable, low-friction defenses.
Outside of engineering, I'm usually planning a warm-weather escape, exploring new places, or searching for good food like it's a competitive sport. I have a habit of optimizing anything within reach, whether it's workflows, devices, or travel plans.
Presented at SecureWorld Boston on securing 30+ million public cloud files with minimal user impact. Demonstrated how CASB technology, automation, and user feedback created a scalable approach to dramatically improve cloud security posture. View presentation →
Selected as a top 1% SOAR builder to join Tines' Technical Advisory Board. Collaborate with product leadership to shape platform innovations, drive industry trends, and advance the future of security automation.
Architected a company-wide zero-trust access model using audit log analysis to eliminate over-privileged accounts. Built automated RBAC workflows with least-privilege enforcement and temporary access patterns, reducing access requests by 80% while strengthening security posture across the organization.
Built an AI-driven classification system to automatically detect and assess Chrome extensions and installed software. Using an allowlist approach based on categories and risk levels, the system integrates threat intelligence feeds and custom blacklists to identify high-risk tools, eliminating manual review of 16,000+ extensions and applications while improving enforcement accuracy and security visibility.
Built a Python-based AWS tool allowing employees to request permissions and groups directly from Slack. Access is automatically provisioned based on roles and risk level, fully temporary, logged, and secured with MFA and biometrics, simplifying IAM management while reducing security risk.
Built an AI-powered SOC agent to handle initial review and triage of security alerts. Leveraging documentation and knowledge sources, the agent autonomously enriches, responds to, and escalates incidents as needed. Built on Anthropic's Claude Sonnet, it reduces manual intervention while serving as an intelligent first layer in the SOC.
I enjoy contributing to the engineering and security community. If you’d like to collaborate on a project, invite me to speak, or connect, I’d love to hear from you!
