With a strong passion for technology that was cultivated and continues to grow through learning, I help organizations create security and privacy solutions to meet business needs and objectives. My mission is to push our society forward with the use of technology innovation, automation, artificial intelligence, privacy, and security in mind.
I am committed to stay up to date on current security issues that arise in the field of Cyber Security. I actively seek out news and stories that provide insightful knowledge in helping protect intellectual property.
Take a further look into the benefit and value I have contributed to the amazing companies I have worked for:
Seismic is a sales enablement and marketing company that offers several SaaS B2B solutions. Currently, I hold the position of Information Security Team Lead at Seismic, where I oversee and direct the Application Security program. My primary responsibilities revolve around Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Analysis Security Testing (DAST), container vulnerability testing, API vulnerability testing, software composition analysis, and conducting production risk assessments, which encompass threat modeling. Concurrently, I am deeply involved in fostering a secure software development lifecycle, collaborating with engineers worldwide to implement security best practices, particularly emphasizing early integration ("shifting left"). A core aspect of my role involves automating security processes within our CICD pipelines and imparting knowledge to engineers regarding risks to the applications. Remaining abreast of industry standards such as OWASP Top 10, NIST, ISO standards, as well as staying informed on the latest CVEs and CWEs, is integral to delivering effective services. To bolster the efforts of our compact security team, I actively engage in diverse tasks, including supporting ISO and SOC2 Type II audits, contributing to incident response measures, managing cloud alerts, and undertaking additional responsibilities as needed.

iCorps is a Microsoft partner company where I worked as a Technology & Systems Consultant. I have worked at their headquarter's office in Boston, MA for a year and a half and made the transition to their New York City office. I worked on their two biggest clients, providing leading technologies to meet company goals. I was able to accomplish securing client networks drastically and ensured IT was at the forefront of issues rather than trailing behind. During my relationship with iCorps, I worked with technologies such as Azure, Mimecast, SonicWall, Dell, Sophos, Datto, and O365.
As a Support Specialist for Rutgers University Digital Classroom Services, I helped maintain classroom technologies across the four campuses in Rutgers, New Brunswick. I supported all classrooms running on campus, ensuring professors had the technologies needed to run their class.
I founded Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity NJ Alpha Lambda Chapter at Rutgers University in December 2016 with twenty other individuals. I was the founding Vice-President of Education and Development. I followed by becoming President the year after. I assisted in creating the local governing rules and establishing the organization from a colony to a chapter status within my President role.
