Message

At RapidAscent, I designed secure AWS environments with least-privilege IAM policies and segmented VPC networks aligned with NIST SP 800-53. I also assessed simulated cloud infrastructure against NIST SP 800-171, CMMC 2.0, and SOC 2 requirements.

I’ve conducted Nessus scans and SIEM log analysis, turning technical findings into remediation plans and executive risk reporting. As a U.S. Air Force Reserve Command Post Specialist, I support emergency response, operational risk management, and information security protocols.
