About

Engineer at heart. I see security as an engineering discipline — not a checklist. My focus is on building scalable, developer-friendly systems that make the secure path the easiest one. I believe the best way to solve a problem is to experience it first-hand — sit with the code, debug the edge cases, feel the friction. When you live the engineering pain, you design security that actually works. And maybe a bit ironically — in an era where AI is writing definitions, policies, and jargon faster than ever, the hardest thing to automate is still the human touch. Outside work, sometimes I lift — but most of the time, I run.
