About
I'm a Junior Information Security Administrator at the Medical Review Institute of America — a HITRUST R2 + SOC 2 Type II healthcare org with 650+ users and 2,000+ endpoints.
I own our vulnerability management program (40%+ YoY reduction) and run an internal pentest program at a near-daily cadence. Outside of work I keep a homelab and pick up too many hobbies.
