02 / About

Security should change how a system is built, not just how it is scored.

I am an application security engineer at Warner Music Group, based in New York. I work across product security, offensive testing, DevSecOps, and the systems that turn findings into measurable risk reduction.

My approach starts with technical depth and ends with a path teams can act on: concise evidence, realistic prioritization, and tooling that fits the way software is actually shipped.
