Welcome to my portfolio! With over 20 years in the software industry, my career has spanned from *nix systems enthusiasm at Purdue to impactful roles in startups and large corporations. My journey across embedded systems, web applications, and more, fueled by continuous learning and a knack for innovation, has equipped me with a unique perspective on driving success in technology projects. Holding CISSP, PMP, and CSM certifications, I blend technical expertise with leadership to turn ideas into reality.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:I am currently working as a compliance manager at OnBoard taking our InfoSec compliance posture to the next level; maintaining compliance with SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and emerging privacy regulations around the globe. I am leveraging prior technical experience for a wholistic and knowledge-led approach to security compliance.
As a Scrum Master for our encryption product team, am responsible for transitioning the team to more agile work methods, adapting to new standards and initiatives, identifying and mitigating risks, advocating for the team with internal management, and assisting the team in meeting feature goals and objectives.
While also being a developer, I was responsible for managing the prior authorization subsystem and Atlantes subsystem of the medicaid account. I was also responsible for the coordinated efforts of a small team of developers to maintain and build onto the eligibility system as well as communicating with account management regarding improvements, problem mitigation, and policy.
My path through Purdue was a winding one, starting out in NROTC and Nuclear Engineering. The timing was not right for me and took a year of computer science in an attempt to transfer colleges. Long story short, I ended up in the History department with a minor in the history of science and technology.
