I'm a Security Architect with 5 years of experience in network security and enterprise threat defense, currently part of the Security Operations Command Center (SOCC) at Akamai Technologies, working with industry-leading DDoS mitigation and application security infrastructure. My career started as a Cisco Security TAC Engineer, where I built a deep foundation in troubleshooting complex environments and supporting enterprise customers through high-stakes incidents, shaping how I think about security as a system that has to work when it matters most. At Akamai, I work across Prolexic, App & API Protector (WAF), Enterprise Application Access, Guardicore, and Secure Internet Access. I hold CCNA and CCNP Security certifications and am actively working toward AWS Security Specialty and CCSP. Always looking to take on harder problems and connect with others building resilient systems.
