Senior Cybersecurity Solutions Engineer

Trend Micro

As a Senior Cybersecurity Solutions Engineer at Trend Micro, I specialize in driving security strategies for enterprise customers across the East Region. I thrive on building trusted relationships with clients and partners, tailoring solutions to meet their unique operational and security needs.

My role involves leading thought leadership initiatives, such as webinars and panel discussions, while enabling the field with impactful resources like demos, videos, and training. I focus on customer success and driving ROI by cultivating long-term relationships.

Previously, I worked at Black Duck, where I leveraged my expertise in pre-sales engagements and customer onboarding for security software, including SAST, SCA, and DAST solutions. I successfully deployed systems on AWS and integrated third-party tools, streamlining security remediation and CI/CD platform integration.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with various teams, from DevOps to product management, ensuring technical excellence across projects. I am passionate about cybersecurity, cloud technologies, and empowering organizations with the right tools and knowledge to enhance their security posture.
