Engineering Secure Systems

I am a Software Development Engineer at AppViewX, specializing in Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), PKI, and security-focused backend systems.

With strong hands-on experience in cryptography workflows, certificate automation, and building reliable backend platforms, I focus on creating clean, scalable solutions that solve real-world infrastructure problems.

My work involves designing systems that handle certificate management at scale, implementing security protocols, and automating complex identity workflows across enterprise environments.

Security First

Building systems with security at the core, from PKI implementations to cryptographic workflows.

Clean Code

Writing maintainable, scalable code that stands the test of time and growing requirements.

Enterprise Scale

Designing solutions that work across diverse enterprise environments and scale.

What I've Built
