Exploring opportunities in Cloud Security, GRC Engineering, and Compliance Automation
I'm a GRC analyst turned GRC engineer. I spent years doing compliance work manually. Now I build the automation that does it for me.
My career started in internal audit and risk management, where I learned how security and compliance intersect with business goals. Today I use that foundation to automate compliance by deploying infrastructure as code and building CI/CD pipelines that enforce compliance controls before anything reaches production.
I work in AWS using tools like Lambda, CloudFormation, Terraform, and OPA. I teach what I'm actively learning through my YouTube channel, where I break down cloud security and GRC engineering concepts for practitioners making the same transition I did.
For me this isn't just a job title. Cybersecurity is how I move through the world - respecting people's data, earning trust, and treating privacy as something worth protecting in every part of life, not just at work.
End-to-end automated compliance pipeline integrating CircleCI, AWS OIDC, OPA, and Terraform. Pre-deployment policy checks block non-compliant infrastructure before it ever reaches AWS.
Automated compliance scanner that checks three IAM controls - password policy, MFA enforcement, and root account activity - and produces audit-ready JSON and CSV evidence mapped to NIST 800-53, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
I'm currently open to GRC engineering and cloud security roles. If you're working on something interesting or just want to connect, find me on LinkedIn, watch what I'm building on YouTube, or check out my GitHub.
"Just watched the chatbot video and LOVED it!! I loved the way you explained what was happening in each section of the code. Very easy to follow. Legit!!"
— James T."I like how you made the tutorials short and easy to follow. You have a new subscriber! :-)"
— Demetria Z."Thanks for posting the RAG video, awesome, easy to understand, well-scoped and easy to follow."
— Jonathan P."This is awesome! I just watched four of your videos and it's exactly what everyone needs - at least I do. They're concise, with no rambling and clearly explain with code how to setup and run chatbots. All videos are just the right length for the average attention span, around 3.5 minutes. This is great stuff."
— Dan W."Congratulations on your YouTube channel launch. You have a great voice for tutorials."
