I am passionate about the intersection of Information Security and Education. I believe that Security Awareness is more than just regular phishing simulations, and it requires appropriate adult learning theory and educational strategy. Another part of educating and securing people is supporting the transformation of business processes and policy to incorporate security best practices while balancing business needs. Human risk is a unique aspect of Information Security that cannot be solutioned away with technology. I am an Information Security Professional with almost 10 years of experience, specializing in developing and implementing comprehensive security training programs and establishing best practices and policy of data protection and cybersecurity. With a strong foundation in security awareness, security operations, and cybersecurity project leadership, I have significantly enhanced the organization's security posture and human risk management, and fostered a culture of continuous learning and improvement. I hold a bachelor’s in information security, master’s in education, and hold a professional certificate in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).

Most technical content today hedges everything and leaves readers exactly where they started. I write content that takes a clear position and names tradeoffs, so senior leaders and buyers can make real-world decisions from it. In 7+ years, I have published 500+ articles for Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud-partnering companies with a 100% Job Success Score across 200+ projects. My focus areas include: - Cybersecurity content writing (threat landscape, compliance, Secure SDLC, incident response, zero trust) - Cloud security documentation (GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, policy-as-code, IAM, DLP), including long-form guides on GCP security services alone - AI/ML content: AI agent architecture, MCP, LLM integration, and developer-facing AI explainers - API documentation and developer guides - Technical blog writing and long-form SEO articles for B2B SaaS - Script writing for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram - Tool comparison and decision-making content for technical buyers - White papers and technical explainers for IT, DevOps, and security audiences - SEO content strategy: keyword mapping, SERP analysis, topic cluster architecture, and Google Snippet optimization - Thought leadership for LinkedIn and X- Developer-facing content: frameworks, architecture guides, and how-to articles My SEO approach combines SERP competitor analysis, search intent mapping, internal link architecture, and E-E-A-T optimization so content ranks and earns trust from the readers who matter most to you. I write for two audiences: C-suite and IT leaders who need to make strategic decisions, and audiences who need step-by-step depth. If a smart non-expert reader cannot follow it, the piece is not done. Outside of the technical stack, I also work with clients on business writing, thought leadership, and content for non-technical industries when the project is a strong fit. Does this sound like a fit? If so, message me with a brief note about your project. I will come back with two or three focused questions that get straight to what the content needs to accomplish.
