About
Information security professional and researcher. I care about identity, access and detection, and about doing the unglamorous work that makes security actually hold up.
I’m an information security professional with experience in identity and access management and threat detection & response in the financial services sector. At CIBC I onboarded applications into an enterprise identity governance platform, reconciled entitlements across 50 applications to meet audit deadlines, and researched MITRE ATT&CK techniques to support detection logic.
I like finding the place where a little extra effort adds a lot of value. Sometimes that’s cleaning up thousands of entitlement descriptions so people can actually understand what they’re requesting. Sometimes it’s building a tool that catches the access issues an audit would. I care about building relationships with stakeholders and contributing to a strong security culture.
