About

Professional summary

I am a cybersecurity leader and Splunk administration lead with more than 20 years of IT experience, including over 10 years focused on cybersecurity engineering, SIEM administration, security analytics, and federal Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation initiatives.

I design, deploy, and optimize enterprise-scale security monitoring platforms using Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security. My work includes integrating endpoint, asset discovery, vulnerability management, and log analytics technologies to provide centralized visibility, threat detection, compliance monitoring, and incident response capabilities.

I have extensive experience leading distributed, highly available Splunk environments, including indexers, search heads, forwarders, deployment servers, and clustered architectures. I manage data onboarding, parsing, normalization, field extraction, retention, capacity, performance, and operational reliability for mission-critical platforms.

I translate technical risk into business impact for executive stakeholders and lead independent risk reviews, post-incident root-cause analysis, remediation tracking, and deployment-quality controls. I have helped reduce critical production incidents through SLA/SLO oversight, automated compliance monitoring, and resilient operational practices.

I also bring a strong quality engineering and automation background. I have implemented test automation frameworks, integrated CI/CD and DevSecOps practices into Agile delivery environments, mentored junior engineers, and supported secure, scalable enterprise software and infrastructure solutions for federal and commercial organizations.
