Core Competencies
Software Engineering
design and build scalable, secure, high-performance software systems. I lead end-to-end developmentfrom architecture and design to deployment and optimizationleveraging modern engineering practices and cloud-native technologies. My work spans distributed systems, APIs, and automation, with a strong focus on reliability and security. I collaborate across teams to deliver innovative, maintainable solutions that align with strategic business goals.
Cybersecurity Engineering
Led Microsoft's contributions to the NCCoE DevSecOps project, architecting secure CI/CD pipelines and integrating Azure Policy for compliance-as-code. As a co-author of NIST SP 1800-44, I helped define secure DevSecOps practices. I also contributed to the Secure Future Initiative, advancing secure-by-design principles, threat modeling, and remediation automation to improve cloud security posture and software delivery
Responsible AI
Leads Responsible AI initiatives focused on ethical, transparent, and inclusive AI development. Collaborates cross-functionally to integrate fairness, accountability, and privacy into machine learning systems. My work centers on aligning AI practices with societal values, reducing bias, and building trust through rigorous evaluation, governance frameworks, AI red teaming, and stakeholder engagement.
Privacy Engineering
I lead privacy engineering initiatives that embed data protection into every layer of product development. I design scalable systems that enforce compliance, minimize data exposure, and uphold user trust. My work bridges legal requirements and technical implementation, ensuring privacy is a core feature, not an afterthought.
