I have built and operated IAM platforms using SailPoint, Entra/Azure AD, and modern OAuth2/OIDC-based architectures, integrating security directly into SDLC and CI/CD pipelines.I am deeply experienced in audit readiness and regulatory compliance, including SOX, PCI-DSS, SOC2, NIST, and ISO frameworks, with a strong focus on automation-first controls, continuous monitoring, and evidence generation.Beyond technology, I am passionate about people leadership—building strong engineering leaders, mentoring architects, and creating high-performing teams that deliver measurable outcomes. I regularly partner with CISO, CIO, and executive stakeholders to translate complex risk into clear, actionable decisions.Core focus areas: Identity & Access Management, Zero Trust, Cyber Engineering, Risk & Compliance, Secure SDLC, Cloud Security, and Engineering Leadership.
