• Integrate security tooling into workflows and CI/CD pipelines for automated SSDLC testing.

• Partner with architects and teams to build secure, scalable architectures across embedded, cloud, connected, desktop, and AI products.

• Apply software craftsmanship practices such as design patterns, code refactoring, legacy modernization, and TDD.

• Implement monitoring, logging, and auditing to improve resilience, observability, and incident response.

• Stay current with engineering and cybersecurity trends and bring improvements to teams.
