What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Linux Security, GRC Automation, or DevSecOps role where I can apply Ansible, Bash, compliance hardening, and visual systems-thinking to make security controls practical and clear.

I've built and maintained enterprise brand systems for 25+ clients at Creative Circle while leading teams of 8–15 designers and presenting to Fortune 500 C-suites. I now apply that systems-thinking to Linux security, infrastructure automation, and clear security documentation.

In my home lab, I've provisioned a five-node RHEL, Rocky, and Ubuntu environment on VMware ESXi, authored 25+ Ansible hardening playbooks, and achieved 96% OpenSCAP compliance against CIS Level-1 and DISA STIG controls. I've also built Bash auditing for authentication triage and Slack alerts, and translate complex security policies into practical GRC and awareness materials.
