● Security & Compliance: Guided organizations through PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 readiness, aligning OSS adoption with regulatory frameworks.
● Leadership & Impact: Designed and executed infrastructure strategies for both Fortune 500 enterprises and startups, saving clients $2M+ annually through OSS-first solutions.
