About Me
I’m a Security Engineer with 12+ years of experience spanning across the security spectrum — from Application Security and DLP to Email Security, Threat Modeling, and Detection Engineering. I started out in AppSec and secure design reviews, grew through DLP and email controls, and evolved into a threat-focused engineer obsessed with solving real-world problems using data, cloud, and smart detection. 🔍 These days, I specialize in building scalable, threat-informed detection pipelines for cloud-native, container-heavy environments — where Detection Engineering meets Data Engineering. Whether it’s turning packets into signal or crafting long-term log ingestion strategies, I love working at the intersection of: 💡 Threat detection 🛰️ Cloud & Kubernetes 🧠Data pipelines With hands-on experience across GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, and behavioral analytics, I bring deep technical understanding paired with a strong sense of mission. I'm a huge advocate for women in cybersecurity, and I genuinely love what I do. This isn’t just a career — it’s a passion. Whether it’s breaking down a complex detection problem, helping someone break into the field, or pushing for better representation, I bring everything I’ve got. I believe in doing meaningful work, mentoring with intention, and showing up as my full self in the field.
