As a tech professional with extensive experience in data security, compliance, and vulnerability management, I am passionate about helping organizations protect their critical data and maintain compliance with industry standards like PCI DSS. With a proven track record at Charles Schwab as a Security Analyst and Security Engineer, I’ve honed my skills in database security, activity monitoring, and process optimization. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement robust security solutions. Whether configuring database classification scans, advising on audits, or ensuring system performance through proactive patching and upgrades, I bring a detail-oriented, solutions-driven approach to every challenge. Currently, I’m seeking new opportunities in tech where I can leverage my expertise in data protection, compliance, and security engineering to make a meaningful impact. I’m particularly interested in roles that allow me to work with cutting-edge security technologies and contribute to a company’s overall data security strategy.
