What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Cloud Security, DevSecOps, or IAM role where I can solve meaningful technical challenges, strengthen security, and improve processes through automation. I value collaboration, clear ownership, professional growth, and competitive compensation. I prefer remote opportunities but am open to hybrid roles near Frisco/Plano or relocation for the right position.

I’m a cloud security, DevSecOps, and IAM professional with 9+ years of experience across Azure, AWS, GCP, and hybrid environments. At PwC, the State of Delaware, and Centene, I implemented cloud security controls, automated infrastructure and identity workflows, and integrated security into CI/CD pipelines. My work improved security consistency, remediation visibility, and audit readiness.

I enjoy solving technical problems, mentoring engineers, and using automation to simplify complex processes. I’m seeking cloud security, DevSecOps, or IAM opportunities where I can contribute hands-on expertise and leadership. Outside work, I enjoy soccer, tennis, reading, and time with family and friends.
