What I'm looking for

I seek a privacy engineering or senior privacy role where I can embed privacy-by-design, lead privacy programs, mentor teams, and balance technical product delivery with regulatory compliance and pragmatic risk reduction.

I am a senior privacy specialist and privacy engineer with hands-on experience building privacy programs, reviewing services for regulatory and internal policy compliance, and embedding privacy-preserving techniques into product and system design. I have led third-party review programs, developed incident response processes, created privacy training and education programs, and guided teams on GDPR and other regulatory requirements.

My background blends data engineering, backend development, and data science with formal privacy responsibilities such as acting as a Data Protection Officer and managing GDPR maturity projects. I consult with product, marketing, and technical stakeholders to deliver pragmatic risk remediations, privacy-by-design guidance, and governance inputs that align business needs with regulatory obligations.
