What I'm looking for

I seek a senior security role leading vulnerability management or security engineering where I can drive program maturity, collaborate with product and executive teams, and deliver measurable risk reduction.

I am a senior security professional specializing in vulnerability management, risk reduction, and operationalizing security programs across enterprise environments.

Over my career I have led teams and technical initiatives—building vulnerability management roadmaps, authoring policy and procedure, and presenting KPI metrics to product teams and executive leadership.

I have hands-on experience with scanner architecture, authenticated web and cloud scanning, Windows hardening projects, incident handling, and integrating vulnerability management with patching and incident response.

I deliver measurable improvements in security posture through process development, cross-team collaboration, and vendor consultations to ensure tool health and program success.
