About
I offer extensive experience helping financial services organizations navigate the unique challenges of securing their cloud infrastructure while adhering to strict industry regulations and best practices. With over 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity and a deep understanding of AWS services, I've become a trusted advisor for customers looking to leverage AWS. Additionally, I have deep knowledge of system engineering, with expertise in maintaining and troubleshooting applications, information security, and networking infrastructure in mission-critical situations.
In addition to my professional endeavors, I host Security SideQuest! on the AWS Twitch channel, a show dedicated to exploring the nuances of security while deep diving into the best practices in AWS cloud security. Engaging with the global community of AWS practitioners fosters an environment of shared learning and collaboration.
My experience is backed by service as a key member of top performing technical teams.
