What I do

Deep technical execution across high-stakes cloud security, federal authorization, and secure AI deployment.

01.

Cloud Security Architecture

End-to-end design of resilient cloud environments — identity governance (IAM), network segmentation, encryption strategy, and tamper-evident logging built to withstand both modern threat actors and strict audits.

02.

Federal Compliance & ATO Support

Hands-on execution through the Risk Management Framework (RMF). Specializing in NIST 800-53 control implementation, rapid POA&M remediation sprints, System Security Plans (SSPs), and package preparation for ATO/ATU submissions.
