What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own automated testing and security controls (SIEM/IAM/RBAC), improve quality, and lead teams with a human-centric approach. I want a culture that values documentation, measurable compliance, and continuous improvement.

I’m a Master of Science–trained applied computer science professional with over 10 years of experience across technical, educational, and leadership environments. I specialize in Software Test Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Systems Engineering, and I’m known for bridging complex technical systems with human-centric leadership focused on quality control and team development.

In my recent work at The Bridge Health and Wellness, I design and execute automated test plans using Selenium, xUnit, and nUnit, and I configure SIEM tools like Splunk and AWS CloudTrail for real-time security threat detection. I also implement IAM security policies and RBAC enforcement to protect sensitive user data—then support that with disciplined communication, documentation, and problem solving from my broader operations and coaching background.
