Bio
I’m a Staff Application Security Engineer with over 15 years of experience in building secure, scalable systems and driving security maturity across organizations. With a strong background in DevSecOps, I specialize in integrating security seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native environments.
Throughout my career, I’ve led critical security initiatives, including a large-scale ransomware recovery platform using AWS Backup, which was successfully adopted across production environments. This project not only enhanced our organization’s resilience but also involved direct collaboration with Amazon’s AWS Backup team, contributing to service improvements that benefited a wider user base.
I’m passionate about delivering real-world, experience-driven talks that focus on practical solutions, organizational impact, and the human side of security. My goal is to help bridge the gap between engineering and security by sharing strategies that are scalable, repeatable, and rooted in lessons from the field
