• Implemented AI to rapidly identify, validate, and scale security programs.
• Deep, practical knowledge of container security (Kubernetes), compute constraints, and securing ephemeral workloads across major public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on-premises environments.
• Hands-on experience deploying, tuning, and automating SAST, DAST, and CI/CD pipeline security tools.
• Specific operational experience configuring and driving remediation through cloud security platforms.
• Proven experience securing large-scale platform migrations and managing the distinct security lifecycles of both legacy systems and modern microservices.

Nice to have:

• Direct professional experience in the autonomous vehicle, automotive, aerospace, or defense sectors.
• Familiarity with physics-based simulation environments, deterministic computing constraints, or managing High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters.
