What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my QA, IAM, and security-testing experience to secure systems, contributing to testing, access-control, and validation work in a collaborative environment.

I've supported Accenture Federal Services by developing and maintaining test plans, cases, and scripts for defense software operating across secure networks.

I perform functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing, manage defect lifecycles in ServiceNow, and document root-cause analysis to support release cycles and agile sprint closures.

My experience also includes IAM and business analysis work at Accenture, including access-control documentation, RMF-aligned risk assessments, NIST 800-53 mappings, data-pipeline validation, and user acceptance testing. I bring an Information Systems background along with hands-on knowledge of Python, SQL, AWS, Jira, and security-focused testing practices.
