Working

AI Cybersecurity Specialist at Invisible Technologies, on contract since December 2025. Red-teaming frontier LLM behavior: prompt injection, adversarial evaluation, and SOC/GRC scenario sets that teach models to reason correctly about the same NIST and ISO controls I have spent years implementing.

Looking

Interviewing for GRC Analyst, Compliance Analyst, Information Security Analyst, and ISSO roles. Remote, or hybrid and onsite in greater Orlando. Contract, contract-to-hire, or direct. Full availability.

Studying

Finishing a B.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University, expected December 2026, alongside full-time work. CISSP is next up; the battle plan is public.

Consulting

Taking clients now for CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-171 readiness: gap assessments, findings, POA&Ms, mock assessments. It starts with a free 15-minute call; the services page has the rest. The free CMMC checklist was the first thing shipped.

Tinkering

Homelab work and CyberWarfare Labs SOC challenges. The lab is where my opinions get tested before they show up in my writing.

Not doing

Relocating outside Florida. Pretending a screenshot is evidence.
