About

Most security teams react. I build the systems that respond before the analyst even opens a ticket. Over the past 4 years, I've worked at the intersection of cloud security, endpoint protection, and automation-first building and owning enterprise scale security infrastructure at Capgemini, now assessing and hardening cloud environments for enterprise clients at KPMG India. At Capgemini, I managed endpoint security across 1000+ VMs, owned Tanium, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and SCCM deployments, and reduced vulnerabilities by 25% through hands-on patch management and policy enforcement. The work I'm most proud of: a PowerShell-based automated remediation framework that cut incident response time significantly because I got tired of watching analysts do the same manual steps on repeat. At KPMG, I shifted to the advisory side conducting technology risk assessments against PCI DSS, CAIQ, and SIG frameworks, and helping organizations understand what their cloud security posture actually looks like from the outside. That perspective made me a better engineer. I know what auditors flag, what attackers exploit, and where the gaps usually hide. What I bring to a security team: — Platform depth in Tanium, MDE, Azure Sentinel, and Defender for Cloud — Scripting and automation in PowerShell, Python, and Terraform — The ability to translate technical risk into language that gets executive buy-in — Certifications that reflect real skills: AZ-500, SC-100, AWS Solutions Architect Associate I'm currently open to Cloud Security and IAM engineering roles where I can build, automate, and own, not just advise.
