What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my experience in regulatory compliance, cybersecurity audits, threat detection, and security operations to help organizations strengthen their security posture and meet complex requirements.

At Gaming Laboratories International, I oversee regulatory compliance for gaming systems across five-plus U.S. states, supporting certification and deployment while coordinating regulators, engineering, and QA teams. I contribute to the review and support of more than 100 product submissions or updates annually.

I've also built cybersecurity and compliance experience through security audits, vulnerability assessments, and a Splunk and GoPhish threat-detection lab. My background includes GRC frameworks, SOC workflows, incident response, Python, SQL, AWS, and security tools including Microsoft Defender, Wireshark, and Elastic Cloud.
