About

A bit about me

I'm a Software Engineer in Microsoft's Security organization, where I work on Microsoft Defender for Cloud — a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that helps organizations secure their multi-cloud workloads, harden security posture, and detect threats across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

My focus is at the intersection of software engineering and cybersecurity. I'm currently pursuing my ScM in Cybersecurity at Brown University, deepening my expertise in threat modeling, secure systems design, and applied cryptography.

Before Microsoft, I founded MacroTech Solutions, where I built products used by over 1,000 users and raised pre-seed funding through the DMZ at Toronto Metropolitan University — the #1 university-based incubator. I've shipped apps to both iOS and Android app stores and built everything from real-time collaboration platforms to IoT safety systems.
