About me

I am a senior cybersecurity operator with over 10 years of progressive experience in threat hunting operations, incident response, and security program leadership across federal, higher education, and corporate environments. Throughout my career, I have conducted numerous incident responses involving both outside and insider threat actors, and have performed identity and access management assessments that have directly contributed to improving security postures. I have managed large enterprise environments with thousands of endpoints and servers, successfully reducing cybersecurity incidents significantly.

I excel at bridging the gap between technical teams and executive leadership by delivering actionable threat intelligence, security program reporting, and compliance briefings tailored to diverse stakeholders. My technical expertise includes automation pipelines using Python and PowerShell, RESTful API integrations, and full-stack development, which help streamline operations and reduce manual overhead.

My intelligence tradecraft encompasses behavioral analysis, dark web research, threat actor profiling, and understanding adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures related to advanced persistent threats, organized crime, and hacktivist campaigns. I am currently a Doctoral Candidate in Strategic Leadership, complementing my technical skills with advanced leadership and organizational management knowledge.

I am passionate about delivering secure and compliant technology programs that integrate cybersecurity, cloud engineering, automation, and risk governance. I have a strong track record of implementing AI governance frameworks, identity and access management strategies, and multi-agent AI delivery pipelines that improve operational efficiency and security.

My certifications include CISSP, CEH, CySA+, and Security+, which validate my expertise and commitment to the cybersecurity field. I am eager to continue leveraging my skills to protect organizations and lead security initiatives that align with business goals and regulatory requirements.
