Experience

1. Enterprise Security Architect

   Northern Trust

   Jan 2018 — Present · Chicago, IL, US

   Security Architect and Consultant for Northern Trust’s hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure and application development projects, as well as traditional on-premise enterprise applications. Created patterns, guidelines, requirements, guiding principles, and training which have helped teams understand how to better secure public cloud applications and understand new concepts like shared responsibility, immutable infrastructure, ephemeral workloads, and guardrails. Worked closely with business and technology teams to go above baseline standards compliance, creating more mature application and infrastructure designs that start with IAM, data protection, segregation of duties, and other relevant controls from the project’s inception. Collaborated with global Information Security and Risk teams to improve cross functional engagement processes, improve collaboration, and ensure project visibility across the teams
