I am a cybersecurity leader with 25+ years of experience architecting secure systems, guiding cloud transformations, and strengthening cyber resilience across education, finance, and enterprise environments. My work spans cloud security strategy, SOC 2/NIST/ISO compliance, SIEM engineering, incident response, identity architecture, and threat-detection modernization in Azure ecosystems.
I specialize in designing and implementing security controls that scale, integrating them seamlessly into cloud architectures, and leading teams through complex risk, compliance, and threat-management challenges. I’ve built UEBA programs, onboarded mission-critical Azure services into Sentinel, developed incident-response frameworks, and collaborated with legal, regulatory, and law-enforcement stakeholders during investigations and audits.
In addition to hands-on technical leadership, I’m an educator at heart—developing cybersecurity curricula, teaching college-level courses, and mentoring IT and security professionals. My background in PKI, identity, networking, Linux/Windows infrastructure, firewalls, and IT service delivery enables me to bridge the gap between operations, security, and business strategy.
I am driven by a commitment to improving organizational security posture, empowering teams, and building solutions that are secure, resilient, and aligned with industry best practices.More...
