I am Global Product Engineer – Microsoft Security DevOps at Global Center Of Excellence (CoE) Microsoft Team at SoftwareOne, contributing to the design and innovation of MXDR for Microsoft Sentinel and accelerating Managed SOC capabilities. Focused on security automation, incident response, threat hunting, SOC‑as‑code engineering, and Unified SecOps development at scale. Next-Gen MDR Software One’s Managed SOC service gives instant access to 24/7 protection, advanced detection, and rapid incident response,
I actively participate in product and service design and development planning, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives. I design and implement changes to products and services based on backlog requirements, and develop infrastructure for deploying security-related projects and products into customer environments using ARM templates, Bicep, Terraform and PowerShell.
I enhance Azure-based security infrastructure according to agreed backlog items, maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment architecture for multi-tenant and multi-customer environments using GitHub Actions, and manage CI/CD infrastructure across Development, UAT, and Production environments (GitHub Actions/Azure).
Additionally, I design, implement, and monitor service infrastructure, and troubleshoot and resolve issues related to deployments, Azure Logic Apps, and Azure Functions to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
With over twenty years in cybersecurity, my expertise spans incident response, threat protection, cloud security, and data security — enabling organizations to strengthen their security resilience through advanced analytics, automation, and modern SecOps practices in Managed SOC environments.
Recognized as a Microsoft Security MVP (SIEM & XDR and Cloud Security) and Microsoft Certified Trainer, I actively share knowledge through blogs, meetups, and conferences, with a passion for leveraging Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and AI‑driven security automation to empower organizations in today’s evolving threat landscape.
I also protect and govern sensitive data, mitigate compliance and privacy risks, identify, and remediate security vulnerabilities, conduct cybersecurity assessments, and respond to incidents.
My mission is to empower our customers with the best security solutions and practices and to educate and inspire the next generation of cloud security professionals.
As a Microsoft Security MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), I am passionate about contributing to the Microsoft Tech community sharing insights, knowledge and learning together.
I am an active member and contributor to the Microsoft Azure community. I enjoy learning new technologies, solving complex challenges, and collaborating with other experts to share knowledge and experience with passion through Microsoft community through my blogs, YouTube channel, GitHub repo, Microsoft Tech Community profile, and meetup groups:
