Summary

Cybersecurity engineer with deep experience in industrial control systems, embedded products, and enterprise/cloud environments. I bridge offensive testing and defensive engineering to reduce risk, improve resilience, and speed up secure delivery.

I’m used to working across R&D, architects, and test/certification stakeholders — translating security requirements into concrete actions, evidence, and measurable improvements.
