About Ehden

Information Security professional with deep expertise in governance, risk, privacy, and resilience. Recently expanded into full-stack architecture by independently building an AI-assisted platform from the ground up. Skilled at uniting security and technology to deliver scalable, resilient, and future-ready solutions that reduce risk and create business value.

I am an experienced analytical information security professional with a strong record in governance, compliance, risk management, privacy, and resilience. Over the years I have helped organizations align security and business requirements, streamline processes, and strengthen cyber resilience across multiple domains. My expertise covers regulatory frameworks (including GDPR), threat and vulnerability management, third-party risk, awareness programs, and cloud integration. I excel at merging stakeholder needs with technology solutions that deliver measurable improvements in confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Since December 2024, I have expanded my scope by independently architecting and implementing a sophisticated, next-generation location-based services platform. Designed, coded, and deployed entirely by myself—leveraging AI as a development partner—the platform combines Next.js, React, PostgreSQL + PostGIS, Redis, PMTiles, Drizzle ORM, and Socket.io into a modular multi-tenant architecture with real-time communication, AI-powered features, and advanced security.

Passionate about both cybersecurity and innovation, I bring the rare combination of hands-on security expertise, software engineering depth, and AI-enabled problem solving—helping stakeholders reduce risk exposure while building scalable, secure, and future-ready technology.
