Hello!
I enjoy managing and mentoring others in the realm of Information Security. Helping others to be better aware of their own security footprint makes everyone and everywhere more secure as a whole. While I have a long history in software development and architecture, which makes application security an area of particular strength for me, I also enjoy educating individuals in the art of self-defense against social engineering.

I led the decrease of the application based security vulnerabilities through the implementation of the Application Security program across four product lines and over 150 developers.
I Increased the initial compliance score of PCI assessments year over year.
I was able to reduce Penetration Testing vulnerability findings as well as the time to remediation for those findings, year over year through leading and managing multi-divisional collaboration within Fiserv.
I Increased security and risk awareness through associate education. Conducted multiple ‘Lunch-n-Learn’ sessions on security topics to include Penetration Testing, Risk Reviews and Application Security Policies.
I Increased security and risk awareness among associates through the introduction of review boards that held development associates accountable for identification and remediation of vulnerabilities.
I increased the security and risk awareness of clients by authoring White Papers covering technical topics in layman’s terms for dissemination to our clients.
Increased maturity within cybersecurity programs, IT programs, and development lifecycles in order to garner a “design security in” cultural change within the business unit through the institution of Application Security Policies, Procedures and Governance.
