About

I’m a Security Engineer with a background in software engineering and a passion for building secure, scalable systems that enable teams to move fast without compromising safety. Currently at Twitch, I focus on strengthening cloud security architecture, automating compliance processes, and reducing risk across large-scale environments. My experience spans enterprise security, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and automation—having led initiatives that standardized AWS security posture, reduced credential leakage risk, and streamlined third-party security reviews. I thrive at the intersection of security and collaboration—bridging technical depth with organizational impact. As I continue to grow in the cybersecurity space, my long-term goal is to transition into engineering management, empowering teams to deliver secure, resilient products through thoughtful leadership and innovation.
