What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles focused on cloud security, compliance, and risk management where I can lead FedRAMP/RMF efforts, integrate DevSecOps controls, and mentor teams.

I am a Senior Cybersecurity Specialist with over a decade of experience delivering enterprise-level security, compliance, and risk management across government and commercial environments. I hold an active Department of Defense Top Secret clearance (SCI) and am CISM certified.

My work focuses on cloud and on-premises security, integrating DevSecOps controls, vulnerability management, and IAM to strengthen security posture and reduce high-risk findings. I have led FedRAMP and RMF ATO efforts and produced SARs, POA&Ms, and other essential RMF artifacts.

I have implemented automated security testing in AWS, Azure, and GCP pipelines, driven reductions in critical vulnerabilities, and improved detection and response using Splunk, CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Prisma Cloud. I combine technical depth with Agile/SCRUM project management to deliver measurable security outcomes.

I am a pragmatic consultant and team collaborator who advises engineering and leadership on hardening, cloud configuration, and compliance readiness, ensuring systems meet NIST 800-53, CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and privacy requirements such as GDPR and CCPA.
