Message

At NMB Bank, I implement CIS Controls, manage vulnerability scanning and patching across 500+ endpoints, and reduced audit findings by 30% through system audits and compliance assessments.

Previously, at KENAC Computer Systems and Steward Bank, I led penetration tests, strengthened IAM controls to reduce unauthorized-access incidents by 40%, and hardened AWS, servers, and workstations using CIS and NIST guidance.

I've also developed firewall, data-loss-prevention, and patching controls that reduced security incidents by 40%, including AI-driven data-protection work to identify potential leakage scenarios.
