About

Security-focused engineer/customer-facing technical lead with SaaS platform experience at Ipsilon Lab, advising customers on API security and secure SDLC improvements. Has implemented production AppSec tooling (SAST/SCA), designed AWS least-privilege agent/scanning deployments, and led Kubernetes CI/CD security-agent integrations with Secrets Manager and PR gating. Strong track record troubleshooting complex customer integrations end-to-end (logs/metrics/traces through DB execution plans) and driving measurable stability/security posture improvements.

Key Strengths

• Explains security tradeoffs to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders
• Designs phased remediation plans balancing risk reduction with operational impact
• Integrates SAST and dependency scanning into CI/CD and drives adoption via triage and prioritization
• Prioritizes vulnerabilities by exploitability and business impact (not just severity labels)
• Deep troubleshooting using logs/metrics/traces to isolate root causes across services and databases
• Produces high-signal incident documentation (repro steps, metrics, execution plans) enabling fast engineering fixes
• AWS security architecture with least-privilege IAM, private networking, and audit logging
• Kubernetes/CI integration of security agents with tuned policies to reduce false positives and pipeline slowdown
