Message

At the University of Manitoba, I assess technology risks across SaaS, cloud, AI-enabled, endpoint, and internally hosted solutions. I review security evidence against institutional requirements, identify control gaps and unsupported assumptions, and provide written, risk-based recommendations.

Previously, I delivered security consulting and platform support for enterprise clients at ETEK International, reviewing technical evidence and supporting security platform migrations and upgrades. My work spans GRC, vulnerability assessment, incident response, and security operations, backed by CISM and other security certifications.
