IT & cybersecurity foundation

My career has been rooted in IT and cybersecurity. At George Mason University, I worked in the security department focusing on biometric security, becoming fascinated by how technology secures and optimizes systems. My first professional experience came at Navy Federal Credit Union, where I managed IT governance and remediated vulnerabilities across the EUC environment, maintaining infrastructure for thousands of employees.

At Institute for Defense Analyses, I continued this focus on cybersecurity and infrastructure, supporting the cyber team and securing virtualization infrastructure and workstations. This work has remained my core focus, deepening my expertise in virtualization and infrastructure security.

Today, as a Solutions Engineer at Arrow Electronics, I specialize in supporting enterprises with Nutanix hybrid cloud and edge computing solutions. I bridge the gap between technical architects and business stakeholders, translating complex infrastructure challenges into actionable solutions. This role combines my security and virtualization expertise with the ability to understand business needs at scale.

growth in parallel

Alongside my IT and cybersecurity work, I've explored growth and marketing. With Khaana, I worked as a Growth & Marketing Lead, building acquisition loops, scaling distribution on social media, and discovering what drives user retention in B2C spaces. This taught me that growth isn't just marketing. It's engineering. I learned to approach problems not as siloed engineering tasks, but as interconnected systems where security, infrastructure, and user acquisition work together.

In today's landscape, where AI enables products to come to life in days and weeks, the ability to bridge security, infrastructure, and growth is more valuable than ever. I continue developing skills across all three domains, recognizing that building products at scale requires understanding the full picture.

what drives me

I'm drawn to problems where engineering meets strategy. Whether it's designing scalable solutions for enterprise customers, building growth loops for startups, or securing critical infrastructure, I thrive when I can see the full picture: the technical implementation, the business impact, and the user experience.

My goal is to build, secure, and scale. Creating products and systems that matter.
