I am a seasoned technology professional with over two decades of expertise in Cybersecurity and IT Operations. Throughout my career, I have developed a specialization in AWS Cloud Security, Application Security, and GRC assessments, encompassing the entire lifecycle from design and planning to implementation. My experience spans various industries, including Healthcare, Finance, Energy, and Technology.

Over the years, I have successfully executed numerous Cybersecurity programs, such as Security Risk Gap Analysis, Vulnerability Management, MITRE ATT&CK Threat models, Web Application Security, Agile DevSecOps Pipeline, Attack Surface Management, and comprehensive audits aligned with standards such as NIST, ISO, CIS Controls, HITRUST, HIPAA, PCI, SOC2, and more.

With a relentless commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure and data, I have consistently delivered robust security solutions that mitigate risks and protect organizations from ever-evolving threats. I possess a deep understanding of industry best practices and stay ahead of emerging trends to ensure the highest level of security posture.

My passion for technology and cybersecurity, coupled with my extensive experience, enables me to effectively collaborate with diverse teams, stakeholders, and clients to develop strategic initiatives and drive successful outcomes. I thrive in dynamic environments, embracing challenges and leveraging my strong problem-solving skills to overcome obstacles.

Architecting security into business.

As a cyber veteran of 25-plus years, I conduct attack surface analysis by reviewing your architecture and infrastructure.  Conduct threat models and create threat maps of what technical components and systems need to be reviewed and tested for security vulnerabilities and we curate the technical security controls you need to mitigate the risks.
