What I'm looking for

I want to join a company where security documentation and risk communication directly shape decisions—partnering with engineering and business leaders to deliver ISO-aligned reporting, clear action plans, and consistent audit-ready governance.

I’m a cybersecurity engineer with 9+ years of experience translating complex security concepts—audit findings, risk assessments, and compliance frameworks—into clear, actionable documentation for both executive and technical audiences. I’m skilled in authoring security policies, executive reports, and procedural guides aligned with ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and ISO 31000.

In my current role as Head of Cybersecurity PMO, I authored executive-level reports consolidating cybersecurity audit and consulting results for C-suite and board-level stakeholders. I’ve also developed and maintained documentation frameworks for cross-project risk tracking, including prioritization criteria, delivery metrics, and dependency maps.

Across cybersecurity project management and security operations, I’ve consistently bridged the gap between security teams and business stakeholders through precise, audience-aware writing. From producing project plans, risk registers, and status reports to monitoring firewalls, WAF, antivirus, and SIEM and maintaining incident case documentation, I bring both structured delivery discipline and practical security insight to every engagement.
