Amy Amy Gilson
@amyamygilson
I lead compliance, security controls, and real estate closing operations with 15+ years of systems administration experience.
What I'm looking for
I've led application security and compliance work at Transamerica, where I advanced from contractor to Senior Application Security Analyst and led a team of eight professionals. I improved entitlement reviews, supported SOX compliance, and co-led a shift from manual Excel processes to a JIRA Kanban system.
Today, I manage real estate closings at O’Shea & O’Shea while serving as a REALTOR®/Broker Associate. I bring practical experience resolving title issues, preparing closing documents, training teams, strengthening compliance processes, and using automation to streamline operations.
