Georgetown, Texas, United States
I bring over a decade of experience leading operations in high-risk environments, now combined with hands-on training in cybersecurity, cloud, and networking as I transition into security engineering. I began my career in security operations with Gavin de Becker & Associates, leading protective teams and managing high-profile programs where precision, risk management, and real-time decision-making were critical. I later worked as a Project Manager with Austin Construction Ventures, leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects with a focus on execution, compliance, and operational efficiency. To align with modern security demands, I’ve built a strong technical foundation across networking, cloud, and cybersecurity, earning: CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) AWS and Microsoft Azure Cloud Certifications I also maintain a Proxmox-based home lab where I design and simulate network environments, perform vulnerability testing, and practice system hardening and security configurations. Currently, I am advancing my skills through CySA+ training and preparing for the SSCP, while continuing to expand into cloud and AI/ML security. I am focused on applying structured problem-solving, risk-based thinking, and technical skills to secure systems and infrastructure in a security engineering role.
