I remediate enterprise security risks and govern AI systems across federal and Fortune 500 environments.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Nike, I remediated 47 high-priority security risks across legacy and cloud environments while advising more than 12 cross-functional teams on enterprise security standards and governance.
I apply Microsoft Copilot, Claude Code, agentic AI frameworks, and vector databases to evaluate AI threats, define mitigation strategies, and align AI solutions with security policies, regulatory requirements, and architecture standards. I also integrated generative and agentic AI into security workflows, reducing documentation and analysis time by an estimated 30%.
Previously, supporting the US Courts through GDIT and K-Force, I conducted end-to-end risk assessments for 20+ federal systems, maintained zero lapsed ATOs, and supported continuous monitoring for 15+ systems.
My background includes NIST-based assessments, A&A lifecycle management, vulnerability remediation, application security consulting, cloud and data governance, and security documentation that turns complex risk into business-aligned decisions.
