about me

As an experienced IT manager, my focus lies in infrastructure and cybersecurity. My technical proficiency is evidenced by my completion of certifications such as CISSP, CEH, Security+, Network+, A+, MCSA, NSE, and others, making me eligible for DoD 8570.01-M IAT/IAM Level III, IASAE I/II, CSSP Analyst/Infrastructure Support/Incident Responder/Auditor positions. With a track record of effectively diagnosing complex problems and delivering practical solutions, I am result-driven and have a knack for adapting to new technologies.

I find joy in all aspects of my work, but my favorite part is seeing a project through from inception to production. As a passionate IT professional, I'm always eager to connect with like-minded individuals.

I hold an MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University, and I have experience in engineering, administration, and support of information system networks and applications.
