The Experience

Partner with Salesforce Business Information Security Officer (BISO) to Lead the Risk Management program for MuleSoft engineering org; maintain processes to identify, track, report, and reduce security risk.
Set the compliance engineering function’s strategy and roadmap for certification maintenance and expansion, ensuring compliance requirements are built into products and services from the outset rather than addressed after the fact.
Ensure a consistent, centralized approach to control attestation and audit readiness - reducing audit fatigue on engineering teams through proactive preparation, evidence collection, and remediation tracking.
Direct MS SWAT’s operational execution model for MS Gov Cloud - change case approval/execution, on-duty coverage, and maintenance/release windows - setting standards and priorities while day-to-day execution stays with the team’s own management chain.
Champion the evolution of cost and infrastructure tooling (Cloud Central Portal, Cost Anomaly Detection) toward a proactive, agentic model that surfaces savings opportunities and infra insights directly to service teams.
Teams Led
MS Security Engineering - hybrid security + infrastructure engineering team responsible for Identity & Access Management (access approvals, offboarding, credential/key management), Network Security (perimeter defense, certificate management, egress controls), Continuous Monitoring (vulnerability and EOL/patch risk management, scanning and reporting pipelines), and Product Security (secure design reviews, code security validation, penetration testing coordination, bug bounty).
MS Compliance drives compliance strategy and roadmapping for new and existing certifications; embeds “compliance-by-design” reviews into the product development lifecycle; centrally validates and approves quarterly control attestations; prepares control owners for audit walkthroughs and drives remediation of audit findings; and builds automation that reduces manual evidence collection and enforces compliance guardrails at scale. Covers certification maintenance and audit support (MSoH, MS Gov Cloud, GIA2H) and FedRAMP significant/non-significant change justifications.
MS SWAT - production support engineering team serving as the execution/approver for MuleSoft GovCloud change cases; provides on-duty operational coverage and executes bi-weekly maintenance/release windows; executes security remediation change cases; and owns and operates deployment-related infrastructure.
