## Headline

Bridging security and engineering with vulnerability management expertise\.

## About

I'm a Senior Security Engineer \(Lead\) with 9 years in cybersecurity and 12 in IT\. I currently own the full security surface of an AI product company, from penetration testing and cloud controls to incident response and external audits\. What I do: AI & LLM security I test large language model \(LLM\) applications, Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) servers and retrieval\-augmented generation \(RAG\) pipelines for prompt injection, excessive tool permissions, broken authorization and sensitive\-data exposure\. So far: 5\+ MCP servers and 4\+ LLM applications tested in production, 10\+ high and critical issues found, all fixed within 14 days\. I also built the AI security controls in use across 10\+ AI products: gateway and guardrail policies, RAG access controls, MCP tool\-permission scoping, model and API authentication, and AI activity monitoring\. Application security & penetration testing Manual web, API, mobile and network pentesting, with SAST and DAST built into CI/CD\. I prioritize fixes by business risk, not raw CVSS, and cut critical\-vulnerability fix time from 14 to 7 days\. Cloud & infrastructure security IAM and least privilege, network exposure, encryption, secrets management, logging and patching across AWS and Google Cloud, plus Cloudflare controls for public\-facing applications\. Governance, risk & compliance Primary contact for external auditors across 5 SOC 2 audits and 5 ISO/IEC 27001 cycles with zero major nonconformities\. I've completed 3 GDPR assessments, run the company risk register, and trained 500\+ employees on security\. I started out as a Linux administrator and moved into security through hands\-on hardening work\. I still prefer being in the testing and cloud reviews myself over managing from a distance\.
