About Me
I’m a GRC Engineer focused on building automated, cloud‑native, and AI‑driven compliance systems that scale. My background blends governance, security engineering, and automation, enabling organizations to move from manual, spreadsheet‑driven processes to reproducible, auditable, engineering‑grade workflows.
I design systems that reduce operational overhead, improve audit readiness, and strengthen security posture. Whether supporting internal teams or working with clients, my goal is the same: make compliance faster, smarter, and far more efficient through automation and intelligent tooling.
Experience Highlights
- Engineered Python-based automation workflows that reduced manual evidence collection by 40%.
- Designed NIST/ISO-aligned control validation logic automating 30+ controls.
- Improved audit readiness and reduced review cycles by 25% through standardized artifacts.
