Do you need smoother workflows, automated processes, or a modern intranet that your team actually enjoys using? That’s what I deliver. Microsoft Power Platform I build Canvas Apps using PowerApps and workflows with Power Automate to eliminate manual tasks, generate custom PDFs, manage permissions, and send automated notifications that keep projects moving. SharePoint Solutions I’ve designed intranets, HUB navigation sites, and custom SharePoint sites that centralize resources, update records across multiple lists, and help teams collaborate more effectively. Business Applications I create solutions that go beyond standard apps, including CRM-style systems, ticketing platforms, and deal-tracking tools built on PowerApps, Power Automate, and SharePoint. These solutions help businesses manage customer interactions, support requests, approvals, and pipelines, all in one place. Custom Development I extend SharePoint with tailored solutions to fit business needs, from site templates and automation to advanced reporting. What this means for you: - Faster processes with fewer errors - Centralized data your team can trust - Automated reporting and notifications - CRM-style apps and ticketing systems to streamline operations - User-friendly apps that employees actually adopt With over 7 years of Microsoft 365 experience, I don’t just build apps, I solve business problems with technology that scales.

I design and build production-grade security systems for companies that need to secure cloud infrastructure, pass audits, and operate in regulated environments. Most teams don’t have a security tool problem. They have an architecture, integration, and execution problem. That’s where I come in. What I Do I help startups and enterprise teams move from: ❌ fragmented tools and partial controls ❌ audit delays and failing security reviews ❌ reactive fixes and security debt → to ✅ engineered, scalable security architecture ✅ audit-ready, continuously compliant environments ✅ automated, integrated security operations Core Expertise Cloud Security & Cryptography • Multi-cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP) • TLS PKI systems with automated certificate lifecycle (IaC + CI/CD) • Encryption architecture (CMEK, KMS, data masking, data protection) • Cryptographic hardening aligned with FIPS and modern standards • DNS security, network isolation, and zero-trust patterns Identity & Access Management • SSO (SAML, OIDC), enterprise identity federation • RBAC and least-privilege system design at scale • SCIM provisioning and identity lifecycle automation • Integration with enterprise IdPs (PingFederate, Azure AD, Okta) • Cross-account and multi-environment access control Compliance & Audit Readiness • SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP-aligned environments • End-to-end delivery: gap assessment → implementation → audit support • Control design, remediation, and evidence automation (Vanta, Drata, custom pipelines) • Continuous compliance monitoring vs point-in-time audits • Closing audit findings fast (not just identifying them) Security Engineering & Incident Response • CI/CD security (SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, secret management) • Vulnerability management with automated remediation workflows • Cloud misconfiguration detection (CIS benchmarks, runtime analysis) • Secure system design across infrastructure and application layers • Incident response, forensics support, and system hardening AI-Driven Security I don’t just integrate tools — I design security platforms. I have built and architected multi-agent AI-driven cybersecurity systems combining: • Cloud security analysis (AWS integrations, IAM analysis, misconfiguration detection) • Offensive security (recon, exploitation, privilege escalation simulation) • Vulnerability management (SAST, DAST, fuzzing, CI/CD integration) • SOC automation (SIEM/SOAR integrations, alert enrichment, playbooks) • Forensics and incident investigation workflows • Compliance reporting mapped to frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA) Key capabilities: • Multi-agent orchestration and communication • Automated remediation workflows • MITRE ATT&CK mapping and executive reporting • API-driven integrations across security tooling ecosystem • Role-based access for security, DevOps, and compliance teams This enables: → Continuous security instead of periodic assessments → 80% reduction in manual security effort → Faster audit readiness and real-time visibility How I Work • Engineering-first — I build and implement, not just advise • Work directly in production systems (cloud, identity, pipelines) • Design for real audit constraints, not theoretical compliance • Fast execution, clear communication, and ownership Typical Clients • SaaS companies preparing for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA • Cloud-native platforms handling sensitive or regulated data • Startups entering enterprise sales with security blockers • Organizations with fragmented security tools that don’t work together Important I’m not a fit for checklist-based security or surface-level audits. If you need: • real security architecture • working implementations • systems that pass audits and hold up in production - we’ll work well together.
