Blending Engineering, Security, and AI with Purpose
Multidisciplinary security engineer with deep experience across Blue Team operations, DevSecOps automation, and full-stack development. Passionate about building secure systems, scaling security through automation, and leading teams to solve real-world problems. While I specialize in defensive security, I occasionally venture into red teaming to understand both sides of the game. Keen explorer of AI/ML in security, and always up for a good scripting challenge.
