About
I'm a Senior Architect leading Cloud, Application and Data Security Engineering at Cargill, where I own CSPM strategy for 500+ cloud accounts, architect security baselines mapped to CSA CCM across 15 compliance domains, and build LLM-powered compliance automation achieving 89% precision. Before this, I built InMobi's cloud security program from scratch for a platform serving 300M+ users — reducing attack surface by 35%, leading GenAI red teaming for 5 AI products, and driving ISO 27001, SOC 2, and FTC certifications to zero critical findings. My career spans advising 15+ enterprise clients at KPMG, building the first cloud security function at Hudson's Bay Company, and securing fintech infrastructure at Envestnet across 300+ AWS accounts.
