About

Application and Cloud Security, built on a developer foundation.

I’m transitioning deeper into security engineering. I come from a developer background, so my default approach is: understand the system, map the risk, then make changes that are realistic for engineers to ship.

What I care about

  • Clear, actionable security guidance
  • Security that scales with cloud complexity
  • Writing things down to reinforce understanding
  • Documentation that I can reuse later.

What I’m working on right now

  • Building stronger cloud security fundamentals (IAM, secrets, boundaries)
  • Developing a risk-oriented security mindset
  • Practicing web application testing and documenting findings

Currently focused on building foundational depth in application and cloud security while documenting what I learn.
