## Headline

Lead Security Engineer @ DreamSports \| GRC, Cloud Security, IAM, Security Architecture & Engineering & Securing Fintech Platforms

## About

With over 14 years of experience in information security, I specialize in safeguarding large\-scale FinTech platforms within highly regulated environments\. At DreamSports, my work emphasizes governance, risk management, compliance \(GRC\), cloud security, identity and access management \(IAM\), and vulnerability management\. I have contributed to multiple regulatory audits, including PCI DSS Level\-1, RBI, SEBI CSCRF, and IFC, ensuring minimal critical observations\. At DreamSports, I bridge the gap between regulatory compliance and platform engineering by designing and deploying production\-grade internal security tools on AWS, enhanced through AI\-assisted development\. My focus remains on building resilient InfoSec teams, collaborating with regulators, and transforming complex risks into actionable strategies that support executive decision\-making\.
