Aspiring GRC engineer with a focus on cloud security and compliance automation
My path into cloud security started with a hands-on question: how do you build infrastructure that stays compliant without grinding your engineering team to a halt? That question has driven everything I've pursued since, from learning AWS inside and out to building automated solutions that turn compliance into a built-in feature rather than an afterthought.
I'm working toward a career in GRC engineering, building hands-on experience with AWS, CloudFormation, and Infrastructure as Code while picking up Python to automate the compliance and governance tasks that usually get done manually. My focus is on how security controls can be embedded into cloud infrastructure from the start, not bolted on after the fact.
Right now I'm focused on earning my AWS credentials, deepening my automation toolkit, and building projects that show what practical GRC engineering looks like in a real cloud environment. I'm looking to join a team where I can contribute, keep learning, and grow into a strong GRC engineering role.
