  • Security Engineering & Hyper-Automation Security as Code:
    Build the automation tissue that connects our stack, utilizing Python, Power Shell, and Terraform to automate threat containment and patch management.

    Integration Engineering:
    Develop custom API integrations to bridge gaps between vulnerability scanners, RMM tools, and ticketing systems for seamless auto-remediation.
  • High-Stakes Advisory & Governance Strategic vCISO:
    Act as a high-level advisor for key accounts, translating abstract risk into actionable business roadmaps for C-suite stakeholders.

    Compliance Orchestration:
    Oversee technical evidence collection and governance for HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC, ensuring our clients remain audit-ready.
