Expertise.
From architecture to leadership.

Five connected disciplines: security operations, security architecture, detection and response, security metrics, and AI-directed software engineering.

01 / Expertise

Cyber defense operations
& interim leadership

How do teams, technologies and providers become dependable security services?

I take on operational leadership and governance within the agreed mandate. The focus is on cooperation between central security, country organisations and providers, with clear decision-making in day-to-day operations.

  • Service ownership, roles and escalation paths across internal teams and external providers.
  • Service reviews covering scope, outstanding actions and dependencies.
  • Coordination of critical incidents and communication of technical situation assessments to the responsible decision-makers.

Security architecture
& international transformation

How can a technical change be delivered across a distributed organisation?

I connect the assessment of technical options with future operating requirements. This includes target architecture, dependencies, policy and exception handling, and coordination of international rollouts.

  • Assessment of EDR and Device Control capabilities within existing endpoint and operating environments.
  • Alignment of central requirements with local needs, technical dependencies and operational owners.
  • Planning of pilots, rollout waves, acceptance criteria and operational handover.

SIEM, detection
& incident management

Which events matter — and what happens after an alert?

My technical background includes security logging, SIEM use cases, risk-based incident triage and forensic analysis. This experience informs the design of detection, analysis and response processes.

  • Review and development of use cases and playbooks, including their interfaces with the SOC.
  • Assessment of log sources, analysis requirements and technical dependencies for central logging and SIEM environments.
  • Alignment of triage, escalation and incident coordination with internal teams and providers.

Security metrics
& management oversight

Which metrics actually support a decision?

I develop security metrics programmes and decision-oriented reporting. The starting point is a specific management question, a defined measurement scope and traceable data. My experience also includes leading an evidence-based cyber defense maturity assessment.

  • Definition of each metric’s purpose, calculation, data source, owner and interpretation.
  • Review of data quality, coverage and comparability before metrics are used in management reporting.
  • Connection of metrics and findings to required action, decisions and follow-up.

Example work products

Metric definitions · Evidence register · Reporting structure · Prioritised recommendations

Security Metrics · NIST CSF 2.0 · OSMS

AI-directed engineering
& secure architecture

How does AI-assisted implementation become a maintainable enterprise application?

I combine requirements, architecture and security controls with AI-directed engineering workflows. I retain professional accountability, from task decomposition through testing and code review to documentation and operational handover.

  • Bring requirements, data flows, identities and permissions together in a traceable architecture.
  • Direct agentic implementation with automated tests, security checks and code reviews.
  • Make maintainability, documentation and deployment readiness part of delivery.

Architecture decisions · Requirements and controls model · Tests and review evidence · Operating documentation

AI-Directed Engineering · IAM / Entra ID · AWS · Microsoft Azure
