With 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, I have dedicated my career to defending organizations against evolving threats. I spent my first 11 years securing U.S. financial institutions, designing resilient, monitorable security architectures. Transitioning into consulting, I guided numerous organizations in building and optimizing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. Over the past seven years, I have focused on the product side, shaping solutions that empower customers to enhance their security posture. My expertise spans the entire defensive spectrum, from configuration and architecture to continuous monitoring.
