I use 20 years of experience in software development, infrastructure automation, and security engineering and principles from Agile and DevSecOps to establish an engineering culture that continuously identifies and reduces risk as early in the SDLC as possible in order to sustainably deliver software efficiently for the business. I manage infrastructure, identity, and security in AWS, GCP, and Azure. I use infrastructure as code and automation tools and techniques to do so at scale. I also use offensive security tools to test the security posture of the organization and help establish a security minded culture by regularly presenting security related content to engineers and business stakeholders alike.I also collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure company utilized systems and processes adhere to healthcare industry security and privacy regulatory requirements by identifying business risks and security vulnerabilities, educating affected stakeholders about the potential impacts and solutions available, and implementing the tactical and strategic remediations chosen to mature the security posture of the organization.

I help the scientists and developers creating "[...] innovative clinical and food safety testing technologies to deliver clarity in infectious disease genomics that can help protect human lives" ensure that their software is delivered quickly, securely, and reliably.
