What I'm looking for

I seek senior InfoSec roles focusing on HIPAA/cloud security, regulatory compliance, and leading cross-functional teams to build secure, auditable systems.

I am a cybersecurity and IT healthcare compliance consultant with 16+ years securing healthcare systems, implementing ISO 27001 and 21 CFR Part 11, and leading InfoSec and QA teams to deliver compliant, secure software. I combine technical certifications and hands-on experience in cloud security, penetration testing, and risk management.

I have led enterprise security programs, conducted audits and vendor reviews, and advised leadership on regulatory strategy and secure architecture. I prioritize practical, standards-based security controls and collaborative change management to reduce risk and ensure regulatory alignment.
