Let's Talk About What's Keeping You Up at Night

The best first conversation is specific: an audit deadline, an AWS bill that stopped making sense, a security questionnaire your team can't answer, a compliance program that exists only in a Google Doc. Bring me one of those.

I'm Currently Available For

Fractional CISO / vCISO

SOC 2 and HIPAA programs — build or rescue. I've taken these from placeholder policies to full certification, and I know which controls matter and which are audit theater.

Infrastructure Advisory / Fractional CIO

Colo buildouts, GPU fleet architecture, network fabric design, cloud-repatriation math. If your AWS bill is the problem, I've solved it at scale.

Board & Executive Advisory

Security-posture advisory for boards and executive teams — translating audit findings, questionnaires, and risk into decisions non-specialists can act on.

Full-Time Security Leadership

For the right company: one where security, compliance, and infrastructure are one job, not three departments.
