Pharns Genece¶
GRC Engineer · Cloud Security · Detection Engineering · RF/SDR Security
I build audit-ready control frameworks, evidence pipelines, and compliance automation — then implement the technical controls, not just document them. Rare hybrid: GRC discipline meets RF/aviation security and cyber-physical systems expertise.
