CISA-certified IT Auditor specializing in GRC, ITGCs, cloud security, and IAM—turning control testing into measurable risk reduction.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a CISA-certified IT Auditor and GRC specialist with 5+ years building and executing risk-based audit programs across financial services, consulting, and cloud environments. I specialize in IT General Controls (ITGCs), cloud security assessments (AWS/Azure), and identity and access management (IAM), consistently translating findings into measurable risk reduction and actionable remediation roadmaps.
In my current role, I lead full-cycle IT audit engagements and drive enterprise-wide risk assessments across frameworks including NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 1/2, PCI-DSS, SOX, and COBIT. I also strengthen CIA triad control environments, validate access and encryption practices, evaluate SOC reports for third-party vendors, and use AI-powered audit analytics to accelerate control testing and improve risk scoring accuracy.
