About

Security engineer focused on building pragmatic, high‑signal security programs across EDR/XDR, identity, vulnerability, and asset intelligence. Comfortable in fast, healthcare‑adjacent environments where uptime is sacred and documentation matters. I align controls to NIST and CIS, automate the boring parts, and turn noisy data into decisions.
