I build security into how software ships, from the CI/CD pipeline to the cloud it runs on.

Focus

DevSecOps

I own the security scanning in the CI/CD pipeline. I triage SAST and SCA findings with developers and cut the false positives.

Cloud security

I configure cloud security policies and automated case workflows.

Application security

I run quarterly penetration tests of web and mobile apps and track findings to remediation.

I started in offensive security. That background helps me triage scanner output, because I can tell which findings an attacker could use.
