About

As a cybersecurity leader with over 15 years of global experience, I specialize in designing and implementing scalable cloud and product security programs for enterprises across technology, healthcare, finance, automobile and SaaS sectors. My expertise spans across Cloud Security (AWS, Azure, GCP), DevSecOps, Threat Detection, and Security Architecture — combining hands-on technical depth with strategic leadership. At Index Exchange, Cisco, Rippling, and Innovaccer, I’ve built and led teams that secure applications, infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines, aligning with frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, SOC2, and PCI-DSS. I’m passionate about enabling organizations to embrace modern security principles like Zero Trust, shift-left DevSecOps, and security automation — making security an accelerator for innovation. 🎯 Core Focus Areas: Multi-cloud Security (AWS | Azure | GCP) Product & Application Security Vulnerability Management & Threat Detection DevSecOps, IaC, and Container Security Governance, Risk & Compliance (ISO, SOC2, HIPAA) Security Leadership & Team Building I’m currently open to senior or principal-level roles where I can drive security architecture, cloud transformation, and innovation at scale.
