Approach

Security as a connected
system, not a checklist.

Zero Trust Architecture

Every request is verified, every connection is authenticated — regardless of where it originates inside or outside the perimeter.

Unified Visibility

Aggregating signals from AWS, GCP, Terraform, IAM, Kubernetes, and SIEM into a single control plane for continuous compliance.

Automated Remediation

Policy violations trigger automated workflows — not just alerts. Security controls that act, not just observe.

About

Translating threat intelligence
into measurable risk reduction.

I'm a Sr. Cloud Security Analyst at Keurig Dr. Pepper, where I lead security initiatives across AWS, Azure, and GCP. My work blends CNAPP analytics using Orca Security with Agile execution to drive vulnerability reduction, CIS compliance gains, and Zero-Trust adoption across enterprise multi-cloud environments.

I serve as a trusted advisor to engineering and leadership teams, translating complex threat intelligence into concrete, prioritized action. From patching zero-day vulnerabilities to designing resilient cloud architectures with least-privilege IAM, RBAC, and end-to-end logging pipelines feeding Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike NG-SIEM, and Cribl.

I hold a B.S. in Cybersecurity from Southern New Hampshire University and carry the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, CompTIA Security+, and CompTIA Network+ certifications. I'm actively pursuing the Microsoft AZ-104 and Microsoft AZ-500.

Network Misconfiguration Remediation

Identified and systematically reduced network misconfigurations across all AWS and Azure subscriptions — improving perimeter hygiene and reducing attack surface.

AWSAzureZero-TrustNetwork Security

Multi-Cloud SIEM & Logging Pipeline

Built unified logging and monitoring coverage across all cloud providers: AWS (CloudTrail, S3 Access Logs, VPC Flow Logs), Azure (NSG Flow Logs, Activity Logs, Azure Firewall), and GCP (Audit Logs, VPC Flow Logs). Exported into Cribl and Microsoft Sentinel for centralized alerting and threat detection.
