Hi ,
I have more than 10 years of information security experience and have industry leading certifications like CISSP and CISM. I also have 2 IEEE research publications. I have done MS computer engineering along with an MBA.
You can always discuss before assigning the project. It will help us better understand each other requirements.
Kind Regards
