IT Governance Manager | GRC Engineer | Cloud Compliance Strategist

I turn complex governance challenges into clear, workable systems.

From change management to enterprise risk programs and audit readiness, I design governance frameworks that help teams stay secure, compliant, and able to move quickly with confidence. My work bridges engineering and leadership by translating standards like ISO 27001, ITIL, COBIT, and SOC 2 into practical workflows, controls, and reporting structures that teams actually use.

With a background in Computer Science and an MBA in IT Management, I focus on building governance that is structured, scalable, and calm under pressure.

A structured governance model that formalizes how organizations evaluate, document, and approve risk acceptance decisions. Designed to improve transparency, executive visibility, and audit defensibility across enterprise environments.

A practical internal audit toolkit for evaluating security controls, identifying gaps, and strengthening compliance posture. Built to support governance teams preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other regulatory assessments.

These projects reflect my focus on building governance artifacts that mirror real-world enterprise environments.

I host Cyber Risk, Explained, a podcast where I break down cybersecurity, governance, and risk topics into practical insights for professionals and career changers.
