United States
Began my I.T. experience over 40 years ago writing programs. As technology progressed I morphed into application and web development. About 20 years ago my experience expanded into all the sub-fields of I.T. Security: #List: Network Management, Cybersecurity (Internet, Cloud, End-Point, Network Security), Application Security, DevSecOps, Information Security, Digital Forensics, GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), Ethical Hacking, Security Operattions Center (SOC), Software Management, Hardware Management, etc. #End-List. Having served in the non-profit, private, and public sectors for multinational entities as a citizen, foreigner, contractor, civilian, and veteran of the United States armed forces I have gained unique perspectives on how I.T. is managed within each of those. From very small to very large enterprise environments. I have coded, administered, engineered, secured, audited, and architected on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments (single system, datacenters, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Fed-Gov Cloud). It has also been my privilege to have experience with various types of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) that include having coded some early forms of generative A.I. At GDIT, a Cloud Security Analyst on a healthcare, cloud development project as well as a Systems Engineer Advisor, Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO), and Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) on a different large cloud development project. I played key roles in not only helping the program obtain accreditation in multiple environments of varying levels of classification, but I also played keys roles in reaccreditation efforts. One manager of mine commented about me as being consistently demonstrating professionalism, technical depth, and mission-oriented commitment as a results-driven, detail-oriented cybersecurity professional. Perhaps the most common things said about me that provide benefit are that I am a hard-working, conscientious, energetic, knowledgeable, fast learner with some people skills.
