GRC without the bureaucracy

I'm a GRC and IT security professional focused on infrastructure compliance and risk management. Currently deploying CMMC Level 2 for defense contractors at Airborne Systems. My background spans UC San Diego (International Business, Finance, Data Science) and roles across consulting, energy data analytics, and enterprise IT.

What drives me: building secure infrastructure that actually works—zero-trust architectures, privileged access management, automated compliance workflows. I work at the intersection of security operations and data engineering, where technical depth meets business impact.
