13+ years securing enterprise infrastructure across cloud security architecture, SOC build-and-operate, MXDR delivery, managed security services, network security engineering, DFIR, and detection engineering. Currently leading Network Security capability at NTT DATA with a full pre-sales portfolio across Azure, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Checkpoint, F5, and AI-native security platforms.
Hands-on implementation experience across SIEM/XDR deployment, Zero Trust rollout, AI SecOps, and multi-OEM network security — paired with the commercial fluency to close enterprise managed security engagements.
At NTT DATA's Cloud Services Division I own the Network Security capability lead role — driving pre-sales across Palo Alto, Checkpoint, F5, and Fortinet while architecting and deploying MXDR solutions on Microsoft Sentinel, Google Chronicle, and Cortex XSIAM at 1.2 TB/day scale.
I bridge deep technical implementation — Zero Trust rollout, SOAR orchestration, detection engineering, AI agent deployment — with commercial delivery: RFP responses, SOW authoring, effort estimation, and executive security briefings for banking, manufacturing, and government clients.
Built and deployed semi-autonomous tier-0 triage AI agents using Azure OpenAI, LangChain, and Logic Apps — reducing L1 manual effort by 35–40%. Secured LLM/RAG workloads against prompt injection, data exfiltration, and unsafe output risks, achieving 72% reduction in unsafe model outputs.
Hands-on implementation across all major enterprise security platforms — not just design advisory.
