With more than 15 years of enterprise cybersecurity experience across the financial services, healthcare, and technology industries, I have developed extensive expertise in designing and delivering secure, scalable, and resilient security solutions for complex enterprise environments. I currently work as a Senior Security Consultant at Ernst & Young in Dallas, where I advise organizations on cybersecurity strategy, risk governance, security transformation, and regulatory compliance initiatives.
I hold globally recognized certifications including CISSP and CCSP from ISC2, along with specialized certifications in Thales Luna HSM, HashiCorp Vault, Fortanix DSM, and IBM Security Guardium. These credentials reflect both broad cybersecurity leadership capabilities and deep hands-on expertise within the cryptographic security domain.
My technical expertise includes Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Enterprise Key Management, Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), and External Key Store (XKS) architectures. I have led the design and implementation of enterprise-scale encryption and key management solutions, including Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), cloud-native encryption strategies across AWS and Azure, and automation-driven certificate lifecycle management frameworks.
In the area of data security, I specialize in data discovery, classification, activity monitoring, policy enforcement, and compliance enablement aligned with major regulatory standards such as SOX, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. I am also actively involved in the evolving field of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), where I have authored research and developed NIST-aligned PQC migration roadmaps to help organizations assess and mitigate emerging quantum-era cryptographic risks.
