I joined the GRC Engineering Club to intentionally step outside my comfort zone, strengthen my hands-on technical skills, and learn how engineering practices can make GRC more automated, scalable, and integrated with the systems we govern. I'm particularly interested in policy-as-code, infrastructure-as-code, continuous control monitoring, and finding practical ways to bring these concepts into real-world security and compliance programs.

Most recently, I worked through the Certified GRC Engineer Practitioner (CGE-P) labs and capstone, hardening a deliberately non-compliant AWS workload against the HIPAA Security Rule with Terraform, OPA/Rego policy gates in CI, signed and vaulted evidence, and OSCAL documentation.
