Jerry Is Ready for His Next RMF Leadership

8-year cybersecurity leader delivering audit-proof RMF and FedRAMP cloud ATOs.

About

I help teams ship faster, without treating compliance like a slowdown.

I have seen what happens when security becomes a paperwork exercise, everyone loses time and trust. My sweet spot is turning real-world system work, cloud decisions, scan results, and change tickets into evidence that holds up when it matters. The goal is simple, keep the mission moving while staying audit-ready.

I am the person teams bring in when they need real RMF execution, not theory. I have built the artifacts that survive scrutiny, like SSPs and POA&Ms, and I have backed them up with evidence from continuous monitoring, STIG validation, and day-to-day operational reality.

On classified DoD systems, I drove vulnerability governance using ACAS and remediation planning, helping reduce vulnerabilities by 25%. I also know how to keep security practical, supporting 24/7 monitoring workflows and tightening the handoffs between detection, change management, and documentation.

What makes me different is the bridge between compliance and cloud. I have supported secure architecture reviews in AWS and Azure, and I bring Infrastructure as Code thinking into compliance so controls are easier to prove, repeat, and automate.

• 25% vulnerabilities reduced
• 0 SOX audit findings
• 2 clouds, AWS and Azure
• 24/7 ops support experience

If you know a team that needs RMF, FedRAMP, or CMMC progress without chaos, I would value an intro. A LinkedIn share to the right hiring manager or program lead helps more than you think.

Target roles: ISSO or ISSM (RMF, ATO, continuous monitoring), Cloud GRC Lead (FedRAMP, control implementation, audit readiness), Security Compliance Automation Engineer (evidence pipelines, IaC-aligned controls)
