Igor M.

Senior Cybersecurity Architect and Azure Cloud Security Expert with 20+ years in enterprise IT and 7 Microsoft certifications including MCT, Azure Solutions Expert, and Azure Security Engineer. I hold an active FBI-CJIS Security Clearance (through 2028). I specialize in Zero Trust Architecture, cloud security assessments, and compliance frameworks (NIST SP 800-53, SOC 2, FedRAMP, CMMC, PCI-DSS, HIPAA). Most recently, I served as a BISO Assessor at Bank of America, evaluating 50-60 CGA control specifications across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and conducting NIST CSF gap analyses for critical financial systems. As Principal Azure Architect at DSM LLC (Microsoft Partner), I design and enforce Zero Trust hub-and-spoke network topologies, implement Entra ID with RBAC and PIM/PAM, deploy Infrastructure as Code via Terraform and Bicep, and architect CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. I also bring strong AI integration capabilities — building AI agents, integrating LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI), and developing full-stack applications with React, Next.js, Python, and Swift/SwiftUI for iOS. Published author of "Cyber Security for Executives" and "Prompt Engineering Mastermind" (Amazon). Former Azure Architect for State of Alaska and GSA/Leidos federal projects.
