What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote or hybrid role where I can lead end-to-end IT audits and IT risk/control testing, strengthen ITGC/SOX compliance, work with regulators and auditors, and drive practical remediation to improve control effectiveness.

I’m an IT Audit and IT Risk professional with 8+ years of experience across Big4 (KPMG) and enterprise environments in banking, fintech, telecom, and infrastructure. I specialize in ITGC and SOX 404 internal controls, application controls, and end-to-end audit execution—from planning and control testing to remediation validation and reporting.

In my recent roles, I’ve led IT audit engagements across critical business systems, performed IT risk assessments across multiple systems, and tested 30+ controls while tracking findings to closure. I collaborate with 10+ stakeholders across IT and business functions, and I’ve helped improve internal control environments by reducing remediation timelines by ~30%.

My approach is structured and risk-driven: I use COBIT 2019, ITIL, ISO/IEC 27001, and NIST principles to assess design and operating effectiveness, including IAM/access control lifecycle and vendor risk assessment. I’m comfortable working with external auditors and regulators (including Central Bank of Russia 716-P, 757-P, 850-P frameworks), and I’m currently pursuing CISA to further deepen my audit and assurance capabilities.
