My career has taken me through a diverse journey, spanning roles that include full-stack developer, business analyst, IT manager, and now thriving in cybersecurity. Throughout this journey, my deep passion for technology has remained a constant driving force.

Achieving this requires close collaboration with developers, business stakeholders, and others, necessitating me to consistently bridge different disciplines within technology. Whether it's simplifying intricate development concepts for security and business professionals or vice versa, every piece added brings us nearer to the solution. This challenge deeply motivates me.

I approach my work with a clear focus on prioritizing people first, followed by refining processes, and then utilizing technology to enhance these efforts. This philosophy ensures that technological changes are seamlessly integrated and readily embraced by our teams and organizations.
