15+ years where security is not theoretical — operational, measurable, and continuously tested.
Fifteen-plus years designing and securing infrastructure across regulated, high-stakes, and adversarial environments.
A Senegalese-born U.S. citizen holding U.S. Government Top Secret / SCI clearance, with studies in Network Administration and Security at Advanced Software Analysis College in Brooklyn, NY, and in Cybersecurity at Pace University in New York, NY. Work spans defensive security, offensive security, AI security, infrastructure security, security automation, and operational governance for autonomous workflows — with software engineering depth and senior technical leadership experience covering architectural design, advanced escalation support, cryptography, and risk-informed decision-making.
My consulting work sits where identity, authorization, and execution meet — the layer where access decisions actually become actions in production systems. Engagements focus on the operational moments where security must hold under pressure: incident response, architectural decisions during migrations, audit readiness, and the day-to-day discipline that makes a security program credible to auditors, regulators, and adversaries alike.
Expertise
- Cybersecurity Architecture Zero Trust, IAM, enterprise perimeter, hybrid cloud, and identity federation across administrative domains.
- Automation & Security Operations SOAR, threat hunting, incident response, and operational security at scale.
- Applied Cryptography Enterprise PKI, certificate lifecycle, post-quantum migration planning, and HSM- and TEE-backed key management.
- AI & Autonomous Machine Security Operational policy for AI agent deployments, adversarial robustness, and risk management for autonomous workflows in production environments.
Engagements have covered security architecture, penetration testing, threat hunting, IAM and Zero Trust implementations, cloud computing, email and data security, large-scale migrations, secure software development, distributed systems, and enterprise encryption services.
Experience built where security is not theoretical; it is operational, measurable, and continuously tested against real-world threats.

Conversations Welcome
Open to conversations about cybersecurity architecture, incident response, audit readiness, and the operational decisions that determine whether a security program holds under real conditions.
