What I'm looking for

I am looking for a grc role that fosters collaboration, values security, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an IT professional with over 8 years of experience, including more than 2 years focused on governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) in cloud and hybrid environments. My expertise lies in developing policies and procedures that align with regulatory frameworks, significantly reducing audit findings by 40%. I am committed to delivering client-centric support to evaluate cyber risk, drive continuous compliance, and enable scalable, audit-ready security programs.

In my current role as a Cloud Compliance Analyst at Skyview Global, I have developed and maintained compliance documentation, aligned AWS security controls with ISO 27001 and NIST CSF standards, and implemented least-privilege access controls that reduced unauthorized access incidents by 45%. My proactive approach to compliance culture has strengthened internal awareness and secured leadership buy-in for increased security funding.

Previously, I served as an Information Assurance Analyst at Aloteb Limited, where I enforced patient data protection and co-developed policy documentation workflows. My collaborative efforts led to a significant increase in phishing-test pass rates and an impressive 85% audit pass rate. I thrive in cross-functional team environments and am passionate about driving continuous improvement in security practices.
