With over 15 years of experience in cybersecurity, compliance, and IT audit, I support organizations in securing their cloud infrastructure while ensuring adherence to industry standards. As a Security Assurance Consultant at AWS, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to craft robust security solutions that align with frameworks like NIST 800-53, CIS, and ISO 27001. Driven by a commitment to innovation and trust, I aim to empower enterprises to build secure, scalable cloud environments while fostering a culture of accountability and resilience. At AWS, I design and implement security architectures leveraging tools like Service Control Policies, CloudTrail, and IAM Identity Center to enhance threat detection and governance capabilities. My work includes developing custom security controls tailored to organizational needs and driving enterprise security transformations for Fortune 500 clients. By enabling compliance and mitigating risks, I contribute to building secure digital ecosystems that support long-term business growth.
