What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and improve practical GRC, IT risk and compliance programmes, especially where I can translate regulatory requirements into audit-ready controls, evidence workflows and product-led automation.

I build audit-ready GRC programmes and compliance products, translating ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, SOC 2 and GDPR requirements into practical controls, evidence and remediation work.

At Forvis Mazars, I delivered ITGC and ITAC audits across 20+ business-critical systems for financial services and enterprise clients. I also led DORA and NIS2 gap assessments, PCI DSS readiness work, cloud security compliance reviews, and remediation tracking for 120+ audit findings.

I founded GRC Pro Lab and took its platform from an empty repository to live EUR payments. I built 12 framework academies, 20+ practitioner missions, audit simulations and reusable compliance content, while shipping the platform with Supabase, PostgreSQL, Vercel and Stripe.

Earlier, I implemented ISO 27001, led IT risk and compliance assessments, conducted GDPR DPIAs, improved DLP controls, and mentored more than 200 GRC and cybersecurity professionals. I’m comfortable moving between auditor, engineering and customer conversations without losing clarity.
