Information Security Officer

I’m a seasoned Security Engineer with over six years of experience in application security engineering, specializing in vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and integrating security best practices in the financial services and fintech sectors. Currently, I lead security assessments at Signature Bank, where I implement automated security tools in the CI/CD pipeline and develop incident response strategies. I’m passionate about secure coding practices and have experience in training development.

I’m now looking for opportunities in the web3 space where I can apply my security expertise to blockchain technology, smart contracts, and decentralized finance. I’m particularly interested in roles where I can contribute to building secure, scalable systems and help shape the future of web3 security.
