[ 04 / ABOUT JOSH ]

Hi, I'm Josh.

I'm a cybersecurity professional focused on information assurance. I began my career in incident response, identity and access management, systems administration, and audit support. That foundation led me toward GRC and eventually to Lead Auditor credentials across ISO 42001, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701. Today, I'm building compliance automation with AI tools.

Outside work, I like finding favorite restaurants with my wife, playing basketball, and lifting. I'm a try-hard at Battlefront 2, Battlefield 6, and Call of Duty, and I try to live by "work hard, play hard." Current goals: improve at golf, become a stronger swimmer and runner, and dunk on a 10-foot rim.
