// about

Focused on infrastructure and cybersecurity

As an IT and cybersecurity leader, I own infrastructure and security strategy while staying hands-on. My background spans Windows system administration, infrastructure management, and network security, backed by certifications including CISSP, CEH, Security+, Network+, A+, and MCSA — qualifying me for DoD 8570.01-M IAT/IAM Level III and IASAE I/II roles, along with CSSP Analyst, Infrastructure Support, Incident Responder, and Auditor positions.

I hold an MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University, with hands-on experience engineering, administering, and supporting information system networks and applications.

The part of the job I enjoy most is seeing a project through from inception to production — diagnosing complex problems, delivering practical solutions, and adapting as the technology changes underneath me.
