// WHO AM I

I'm a Senior Technical Security Analyst with a passion for cybersecurity and a focus on vulnerability management, third-party risk, and secure implementations.

My journey in cybersecurity began with a fascination for understanding how systems work and how they can be protected. This curiosity led me to pursue formal education in Cybersecurity at Fanshawe College, where I developed a strong foundation in security principles and practices.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with diverse technologies and security frameworks, from SIEM systems and vulnerability scanners to compliance frameworks like HITRUST and ISO27001. I believe that effective security is about balancing technical controls with practical risk management.

When I'm not strengthening security postures or hunting for vulnerabilities, I enjoy [your hobbies or interests]. I believe in continuous learning and regularly share my insights and experiences through my Perspectives blog.

// MY SECURITY PHILOSOPHY

I approach cybersecurity with these core principles:

• > Defense in Depth: Security should be layered, with multiple controls working together to protect assets.
• > Risk-Based Approach: Focus resources on addressing the most significant risks first.
• > Continuous Improvement: Security is never "done" - it requires ongoing assessment and enhancement.
• > Usability Matters: Security solutions must be practical and not impede business operations.
