I'm an experienced, professionally registered chemical engineer, with a broad range of experience and a knack for picking up new challenges in different industries. My foundation is in agricultural waste processing, organic chemicals, sugar, ethanol and pharmaceuticals. I have recently developed my skills in industrial water and wastewater, and expanded my experience into other industries such as mineral processing, breweries and snacks. Due to my broad experience, I often fulfill the role of a mechanical engineer, and also have some confidence in control and instrumentation.

You're running a growing business. You know you need to take cybersecurity seriously, get your team properly trained, or get a handle on programs that are starting to feel out of control — but you don't have the budget for a big consulting firm, and you're not sure who to trust. That's exactly who I work with. I'm Christian — an independent consultant with 30+ years of experience across cybersecurity GRC, training content development, and program management. I started my career in the US Navy Nuclear program, where I learned that precision and attention to detail aren't optional. Since then I've worked across R&D, quality management, and program delivery — and for the past several years I've been bringing that experience directly to small and mid-sized businesses that need enterprise-level expertise without the enterprise price tag. Here's what I actually do: Cybersecurity GRC — I help you understand your risk, build practical policies and frameworks, and get compliant without drowning in jargon or unnecessary complexity. Training content development — From the initial idea through to finished video content, I manage the entire process. If your team needs to learn something, I can build the program that teaches it. Program management — If you have a project with too many moving parts and not enough clarity, I help you get organized, keep things on track, and adapt when the unexpected happens — because it always does. I also use AI tools across all of my work — not as a gimmick, but as a practical way to deliver better results faster. What you won't get from me: buzzwords, generic advice, or a solution that was built for someone else's business. What you will get: someone who takes the time to understand your situation and gives you straight answers. I work with clients across the US, EU, and Africa. Time zones haven't been a problem yet. If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for, send me a message. No pressure, no sales pitch — just a conversation.

I’m a developer with experience in building websites for small and medium sized businesses. I have experience in web development. I also gained sound knowledge in improved skills while working on projects. I gained reputable Web and software application skills and extensive knowledge in object orientated programming.
