About
I am a cybersecurity expert with more than a decade experience across energy, financial, and consulting sectors. My core skills include risk management, vulnerability management, zero-trust architecture, cloud security, and securing operational technology (OT) environments. I have successfully led large-scale cybersecurity programs, reducing risks by 65%, improving cloud security posture by 50%, and increasing vulnerability detection efficiency by 60%.
I have hands-on experience with leading security tools, including Qualys VMDR, AWS Security Hub, CrowdStrike Falcon, and IBM QRadar. My work focuses on aligning security strategies with business goals to achieve regulatory compliance, strengthen threat detection, and minimize risk. I’ve implemented cloud and OT security solutions that improved incident response by 45% and secured critical infrastructure in compliance with NERC CIP standards.
My previous roles include OT Cybersecurity Specialist at TransAlta, Cybersecurity Advisory Lead at ATCO, Vulnerability Management Lead at AltaGas, and ICS/SCADA Security Analyst at TransGas (a SaskEnergy company) where I led initiatives that significantly enhanced security operations and compliance.
I hold certifications in CISSP, CISM, AWS Security Specialty, and PMP, demonstrating my deep knowledge of both cybersecurity and project management.
