GRC Specialist

Senior Risk Professional with extensive experience in Governance, Risk, and Compliance within the financial sector. I specialize in assessing risk, developing controls, and conducting independent testing across standards including SOC, SOX, GLBA, PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST, COSO, and ISO 27001.

AI Specialist

I build AI-powered tools to automate compliance tasks and improve efficiency — including Model Context Protocol servers, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and automated AI-based control assessments.

Experience

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems from the Marriott School of Business at BYU, and hold four active certifications: CISSP, CRISC, CISA, and Security+.

I spent over six years at Zion's Bancorporation as an Internal Control Testing Lead, where I led a team of testers conducting SOX and GLBA audits, built compliance automation tools end-to-end, and owned the entire control testing process.

I then joined Shopify as a Senior Security Engineer, where I developed AI solutions for SOC control operation, managed the annual SOC audit, and built automation to support the Trust Assurance program.

I currently work at Redo as a Principal AI Operations Engineer, where I build and maintain MCP server infrastructure, RAG pipelines, and automated AI-based control assessments — while also maintaining SOC 1, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance.
