Scouting report
GRC-engineering authority — 133★ across AWS compliance work
assessed from open-source footprint
AJ is a real domain leader: a GRC Engineer at Rippling whose GRC Portfolio Hub (51★) and 'GRC Engineering for AWS' book repo (40★) anchor 133 total stars with zero forks padding the count. The caveat is authorship — his own repos read as 'not primary author' and his external GRCEngClub work (281★) is only 3 commits, so the value is thought-leadership and curriculum, not deep solo codebases. Ideal for security/compliance-engineering roles where credibility and content carry weight.
