Currently Senior Vice President and Lead Security Engineer at JPMorgan Chase, he has a track record of founding and growing security functions, designing Secure SDLCs, and implementing GitOps, supply-chain and infrastructure threat modelling at scale. Technically fluent in Go, GRPC, Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS, he combines hands-on SRE/DevOps experience with security automation—authoring asset-inventory tooling, CI generation systems and open-source projects such as a Docker Registry Proxy and Terraform helpers.
