Mid-level Cyber & Cloud Security Analyst specializing in AI/ML and cloud risk

Lanham, MD6y exp

“Built a production AI security compliance assessment system using the OpenAI API that ingests company policy documents, performs RAG over embeddings stored in Supabase/FAISS, and generates executive-level gap and maturity reports mapped to NIST CSF, SOC 2, and PCI DSS. Also developed a multi-agent trading assistant orchestrated with LangChain, combining live market data (Yahoo/Polygon.io), sentiment/technical indicators, LSTM-based forecasting, and LLM-generated recommendations.”

“IFC professional who helped build a supply chain decarbonization fund, running multiple workstreams spanning TA program design, MRV framework build-out, gender inclusion, supplier pipeline development, investor engagement, and engineering partner coordination. Known for critical-path prioritization and executive-ready operating systems (decision trackers, weekly one-page briefs, risk logs) that keep complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives aligned and moving quickly.”

“Data/ML engineer with experience across pharma (Dr. Reddy Laboratories) and financial services (Cincinnati Financial, Capital One), building production NLP and entity-resolution systems that connect messy unstructured text with enterprise SQL data. Delivered semantic search with BERT + vector DB and domain fine-tuning (reported ~35% relevance lift), and builds robust pipelines using Airflow/dbt/Spark with strong validation, monitoring, and stakeholder-aligned rollout practices.”

“Data engineer at Capital One building AWS-based real-time and batch pipelines and backend data services for financial/fraud use cases. Has owned end-to-end pipelines processing millions of records/day, implemented dbt/Great Expectations quality gates, and tuned Redshift/Snowflake workloads (cutting query latency ~22–25% and reducing pipeline failures ~30–40%) while supporting 15+ downstream consumers.”
