I lead cybersecurity audits, compliance programs, and secure project delivery.
What I'm looking for
I've led 100+ cybersecurity and compliance projects across the U.S., Canada, UK, Europe, and the Middle East, delivering ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and SOC 2-aligned programs for fintech, gaming, and enterprise clients.
At Risk Associates EU Ltd., I lead end-to-end ISMS certification engagements for 15+ clients annually and manage a five-person security team. I built Jira-based audit automation workflows that reduced audit cycle time by 30% while improving evidence traceability across 20+ concurrent engagements.
I also deliver gaming compliance audits covering live casino game logic, RNG integrity, payout accuracy, and platform configurations for regulators including UKGC, SRIJ, and SWEDAC.
Previously, at Drox Labs and Codified Digital, I embedded secure SDLC controls, managed Agile delivery teams, and generated $524,000 in project revenue within six months while maintaining 92% client satisfaction. I enjoy translating technical security risks into practical, risk-prioritized decisions for executives, engineers, and clients.
