About
I have worked with web/application servers, mobile applications, and cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS and Terraform). I have implemented automated security scanning in multiple CI/CD pipelines (including Jenkins, GitHub, and BitBucket) while also establishing policies and procedures for web and mobile security testing, PCI/SOC 2/HIPAA compliance (whether it's reporting/logging/self-attestation certification), incident responses, risk/vulnerability assessments, secure architecture reviews, and data classification for sensitive systems.
I spent half of my career in a direct client-facing role and have had continued success communicating technical issues in layman’s terms to the Business to facilitate funding and resourcing needs while ensuring minimal impact to standard Business operations. I have founded one Application Security Department from the ground up and am looking to utilize my experience to help a company excel while remaining on the frontier of the evolving landscape of threats.
