I've reduced critical cloud misconfigurations by up to 90% and saved clients 300+ audit hours annually. Most cloud security consultants deploy tools. I secure entire operating environments — identities, workloads, AI services, and sensitive data — across AWS (including GovCloud), Azure, GCP, and OCI. My focus is operationalizing security programs so organizations consistently pass compliance audits while continuing to ship product.
