Message

At Joint Research and Development, LLC (JRAD), I enabled AI-driven GRC modernization using RegScale Fenix Continuous Controls Monitoring, automating compliance validation and evidence collection. This work helped reduce RMF ATO processing timelines from 4–6 months to approximately 60 days.

Across federal and commercial environments, I’ve supported RMF authorization, security control assessments, vulnerability management, and continuous monitoring. At KBR, I led RMF activities through ATO authorization for Defense Health Agency systems and authored authorization documentation, including SSPs, SARs, and POA&Ms.
