Menlo Park, California, Us

I am a DevSecOps architect leading the design and implementation of application security architecture, infrastructure, and processes to align to LeoLabs needs. I am responsible for ensuring LeoLabs SaaS environment and software adhere to corporate and product certification requirements, securing LeoLabs’ development and production environments, and protecting customer data. I perform application security assessments, architecture reviews, threat modeling, code reviews, and raise developer awareness of security best practices. I partner with our software engineering and site reliability teams to produce secure solutions. I work cross functionally with my peers in the engineering organization as well as leaders in other business units to ensure best practices and secure operational procedures are implemented and followed.

I am passionate about automation, innovation, and cloud services. I lead by example a team running a tier-1 SaaS system, hosted and on premise services and the CI/CD pipelines that support them. Our business-critical cloud services power the delivery of the entire Digital First Platform including a full suite of large financial institution services spanning banking, wealth management, small business management, payments and security. Together with SaaS and Cloud Infrastructure teams I help create a comprehensive SecDevOps strategy that integrates the entire spectrum of solutions tailored to each clients needs while using industry best practices and standards to ensure consistency and reliability.

As the CISO and principal SecDevOps engineer, I accomplished building, evolving and operating rapidly-changing resilient systems at scale in the AWS cloud. I successfully implemented a DevOps toolchain and agile development methodologies for a team of security focused developers and engineers. Over the last two years I accomplished integrating security-focused DevOps practices into the SDLC, enabling PCW to implement security controls required to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of confidential data. Under my guidance and direct involvement, PCW achieved PCI 3.1 certification in less than three days with zero remediation.

Deployed, supported, sustained, and grew the server and network infrastructure for one of the world's largest financial service providers. In addition, I built, scaled, monitored, secured, managed, and automated the platform services. As a member of the systems team I drove the stability and sustainability of these next-generation payment platform systems and discovered innovative ways to scale and operate them reliably as we expanded. I worked with teams of engineers to create proactive engineering mechanisms enabling us to manage the health of a number of distributed specialized Linux server fleets and the software stacks that ran on them. I deployed and monitored the systems and automation to ensure platform services were operating optimally. I utilized trends and metrics to identify opportunities for improvements within existing frameworks, tools and processes to continuously improve systems.
