Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer, Security Architecture ยท Workday, Inc
I started my career as a software engineer. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the decisions developers make under pressure, along with the oversights those decisions can leave behind. It shaped how I approach security today. Rather than treating it as an external audit, I work as someone who understands where systems are most likely to fail and how those gaps translate into real attack surface.
Today I specialize in application and API security, cloud infrastructure hardening, threat modeling, and offensive security, including pentesting and red teaming that feed actionable findings back into the engineering process. I also focus on AI and ML risk by assessing model attack surfaces and designing controls for systems whose behavior is inherently non-deterministic.
I care about building security cultures that last. That means running security champions programs, embedding security awareness into engineering workflows, and empowering developers to own security as a natural part of how they build.
