Cybersecurity Engineer | Threat Management | Cloud Security | Infrastructure Automation
I am a cybersecurity graduate from Johns Hopkins University (M.S., Cybersecurity, 4.0 GPA) with hands-on experience in product security, threat exposure management, and cloud security operations across large enterprise environments. My work focuses on validating security findings, analyzing real-world exposure, and supporting risk remediation efforts through automation and cross-team collaboration.
Previously, I supported enterprise network and cloud security operations at FM Global, where I worked extensively with firewalls, infrastructure-as-code, DNS, and Kubernetes security controls. I enjoy solving security problems that sit at the intersection of systems, scale, and real operational risk.
Outside of cybersecurity, I enjoy playing cricket, football, and golf, as well as exploring hiking trails. Sports continue to shape my teamwork, discipline, and strategic thinking, which I bring into complex security and engineering challenges.
