    Location: Los Angeles, CA Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No (open to travel) Fractional / advisory: Fractional CTO or CISO, or vCISO. Open to interim and part-time engagements.

    Technology and security leader, first engineer to CTO and CISO over 8+ years at a healthcare ePRO startup. Built the platform from the first line of code to a secure, audited system serving ~100K users at 99.9% uptime. Led ISO 27001:2022 certification from scratch in 6 months with zero major nonconformities. Clean record: zero security incidents, 100% audit pass rate across HIPAA, GDPR, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Hired and led a 10-person eng team. Cut infra cost ~66% via an AWS to OCI migration.

    Good fit if you need someone to stand up a security and compliance program, get audit-ready to unlock regulated or enterprise deals, or provide senior engineering leadership without a full-time hire.

    Technologies: AWS, Oracle Cloud, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, backend APIs, iOS/Android, healthcare interoperability (HL7/FHIR/DICOM)
