I'm a recent graduate from Western Governors University looking to break into Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing.
I have strong experience with regulatory compliance, particularly in regards to FDA and electronic nicotine delivery systems.
Originally my tech journey was rooted in programming - primarily through C++ and Java. This eventually led to releasing apps on Android for easily checking stocks and buying/selling bitcoins.
In 2013 I changed paths and started my own business manufacturing electronic nicotine solutions and distributing them worldwide. Our primary focus was on safety and regulatory compliance, and I assisted a number of other companies in becoming compliant with FDA regulations and developing solutions for them to maintain compliance. I also established continuous training practices for various companies to improve safety and increase employee retention. I developed 4 main product lines that received critical acclaim in several countries.
In 2020 I returned to college to finish my degree and pivoted into IT consulting while also assisting companies with FDA and local/state regulatory compliance in various areas. I finished my degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance and look forward to continuing my tech career in Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing.
