About Me

IT/OT Systems Engineer, Cybersecurity Professional, and Computer Networks Researcher with 10+ years of experience designing, deploying, and supporting information and operational technology environments.

Work on OT projects has spanned customers worldwide. Over the past five years, that work has expanded into cybersecurity for IT/OT systems — bringing security thinking into environments where availability and safety matter most.

Day to day, the focus is applying practical countermeasures that reduce cyber risk on the systems the company delivers, so customers can operate with greater confidence against today’s threats.

Academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Systems Engineering from Kyushu Institute of Technology (Japan), built on earlier research and industry work in computer networks.
