About
I started as a developer, ran my own projects end-to-end as a freelancer, and moved into federal IT program management. Most of my recent work has been with CMS—handling security compliance, leading teams through ATO, and knowing when to push forward and when to slow down to get it right.
What I Do
Security & Compliance
FISMA, NIST 800-53, RMF. Led systems through SCAs and achieved ATO. Multiple successful federal annual audits and recertifications.
GRC & Audits

Cloud & Identity
