My foray into information security commenced during my undergraduate studies at RMIT in Australia, leading to my initial professional engagement at Ayuda, a Melbourne-based startup. Subsequent stints at Quintiles and Melbourne IT Limited, prior to their mergers with IQVIA and Webcentral Group respectively, further honed my expertise.

Upon returning to Thailand, I joined NECTEC’s Digital Forensics Lab, collaborating with Japan’s METI to enhance IT security skills among the Thai workforce. I also delved into innovation management, focusing on cybersecurity within emerging tech domains like Connected Autonomous Vehicles, Dual-use Defense Technology, and Smart City ecosystems in Thailand’s EEC’s digital industries.

A significant milestone was my selection as one of two civilians in the inaugural batch of cybersecurity specialists at the Army Cyber Center under the Royal Thai Army HQ. Here, I contributed to improving the security architecture, overseeing cyber operations, and training military personnel in cybersecurity.

At the Thailand Professional Qualification Institute (TPQI), I spearheaded the realignment of the Enterprise Architecture, integrating Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture, Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) approach, and NIST's SP 800-207 standard, edging closer to a Zero Trust security model.

Currently, at the Office of the Student Loans Fund (SLF), I am fervently dedicated to leveraging digital services to streamline student loan processes. Adhering to stringent security protocols and personal data protection is at the core of my operations. My approach, rooted in customer-centric, data-driven innovation, aims at tailoring solutions to meet stakeholder needs. I aspire to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement within the SLF, working towards a more accessible and secure educational financing landscape for Thai students.
