About Me

Cloud security & infrastructure — built to last.

I'm an IT Specialist with 4+ years of hands-on experience in cloud security, identity & access management, and enterprise infrastructure. Currently at Kindsight, I architected a zero-trust security model that cut incidents by 75%, led SOC 2 Type II compliance end-to-end, and managed the full IT integration across a company merger — unifying identity systems, infrastructure, and user environments.

My expertise spans multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Workspace), IAM platforms (JumpCloud, Azure Entra ID, Active Directory), endpoint security, network architecture, and IT automation through PowerShell and Python. I'm equally at home designing security policy as I am hands-on in a terminal at 2am resolving an incident.

In the current market, I focus on the skills employers need most: cloud-native security, identity-first architecture, and compliance frameworks — backed by real-world delivery across multiple industries.
