"Within my last role, various teams came together to develop a secure and compliant financial platform, but it took time, money, and lots of research to do it. We had to consider issues like identity management, data ownership, cybersecurity, and regional fintech data protection regulations. Cybersecurity was a primary focus throughout development, and we put in place data encryption and tokenization, role-based access controls, strict password policies, and authentication. During this time, I became very familiar with the California Privacy Act and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a result, I'm an expert when it comes to knowing what user data can be collected, how it can be used, when users need to be alerted, and more."
