“AppSec-focused customer advisor with hands-on experience integrating SAST/DAST/SCA into production CI/CD (Azure DevOps) and designing secure agent/scanning deployments in AWS (least-privilege IAM, private subnets, VPC endpoints). Demonstrates strong incident troubleshooting using logs/metrics/traces to diagnose load-related failures (timeouts/retry storms) and drive durable fixes, while tailoring risk/tradeoff communication across engineering, security, and leadership stakeholders.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with hands-on experience using SQL and Python to clean messy business data, automate reporting, and build practical customer analytics solutions. Notable examples include a 70% reduction in reporting time through Python-based Excel automation at Shell and stakeholder-friendly retention/RFM segmentation work for small business clients in freight and winery contexts.”

“Engineering leader focused on developer platforms and identity: led a 5-person team building a multi-tenant IAM framework extending Duende IdentityServer, including governance, API standards, and multi-language SDKs. Drove major API architecture improvements by introducing GraphQL alongside REST, cutting client calls from 4 to 1 and reducing payload size by 60% within 6 months, with strong emphasis on stability (semver, E2E tests, feature flags, blue-green deploys).”
