Current Role

Sr. Security Ops @ Vercel

Education

UC Riverside

Security engineer specializing in building and scaling enterprise security programs. My core focus areas include Identity and Access Management, Data Loss Prevention, Threat Detection and Response, and holistic Enterprise Security architecture.

I design IAM strategies that balance zero-trust principles with user productivity, implement DLP controls that protect sensitive data without disrupting workflows, and build threat detection systems that surface real signals from noise. Whether responding to active incidents or architecting preventive controls, I approach security as a business enabler.

My work spans the full security lifecycle: establishing programs aligned with CIS, SOC2, and ISO27001 frameworks, conducting gap assessments to build actionable roadmaps, and operationalizing security through automation and clear runbooks. Always looking to connect with others building the next generation of secure systems.
