Security Engineer Who Ships Secure Code

I combine a deep understanding of security principles with hands-on development skills. From IAM and RBAC implementation to AppSec reviews and audit logging—I build security into systems from day one, not as an afterthought.

Why I Focus on Security Engineering

Great security isn't about adding controls after the fact—it's about designing systems that are secure by default. My background blends formal cybersecurity education with real-world engineering experience, allowing me to bridge the gap between security requirements and practical implementation.

Formal Education

B.B.A. in Cyber Security from UTSA with coursework in network security, IDS/IR, and digital forensics.

Enterprise Experience

Security engineering at GM, implementing RBAC, Azure SSO, SIEM operations, and supporting incident response.

Builder Mindset

I don't just audit code—I write secure code. TypeScript, React, Astro, Python, and infrastructure automation.
