Across two decades, I have designed and delivered enterprise-scale identity and security solutions across the retail, government, energy, higher education, and transportation sectors, as well as at global technology leaders like Oracle Corporation. My expertise spans the full spectrum of modern cybersecurity from architecting Zero Trust frameworks and managing privileged access controls, to enabling AI-driven automation within identity ecosystems and establishing governance guardrails that ensure AI systems operate securely, ethically, and in compliance with regulatory standards. With certifications including CISSP, Saviynt IGA Professional, and Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator (SC-300), I am passionate about empowering organisations to harness the power of AI , while ensuring those systems are governed, auditable, and resilient against emerging threats.
