What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead cybersecurity and IT audit programs—driving risk assessments, control testing, and business continuity—while partnering with clients to improve governance, resilience, and recovery.

I’m a Systems Engineer with over 20 years of experience in consulting and auditing in cybersecurity and information security, supporting technology platforms from applications and databases to operating systems. I’ve worked across government, banking, private security, education, oil, aviation, and food industries, applying international standards and recognized reference frameworks as best practices.

Since 2023, I’ve led cybersecurity, business continuity, and IT audit work for clients in manufacturing and investment, performing risk, vulnerability, and intrusion testing, supervising results, and delivering annual service plans and reports. Previously, as a Cybersecurity Manager at KPMG, I directed layered security and business continuity, managed cybersecurity risks, and led IT audits; I also worked with databases (including SAP/HANA) and operating systems, using tools such as Nessus, Nmap, and Wireshark to strengthen governance, recovery, and control environments.
