  • Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines by implementing automated scanning, security gates, and remediation workflows.
  • Oversee cloud vulnerability remediation (Wiz), prioritizing internet-facing risks, identity exposure, and misconfigurations.
  • Establish and track AppSec KPIs (MTTR, false positives, recurring vulnerabilities, SLA adherence) and present insights to stakeholders.
  • Lead and mentor teams by providing hands-on guidance, enforcing secure coding practices, and driving continuous improvement in vulnerability remediation and risk reduction.
