Cybersecurity Engineer · Cloud Security · Incident Response
I came to cybersecurity through a reinvention — not a straight line. Two decades leading organizations taught me how decisions get made and where they fail. Now I apply that lens to cloud security, investigating the incidents that matter most across global environments. I build things on the side. I write when I have something worth saying.
