I am an experienced InfoSec leader and hands-on contributor. I "grew up" in technology via networking and system administration (Windows, Linux/Unix, and Novell, if anyone cares) with my share of scripting languages and experiences under my belt.I've inherited security teams, and I've built my own. I've loved it every single time.I am constantly growing and maturing as a leader, with my new focus being on working with the neurodivergent-heavy teams we tend to put together in Technology. Understanding how people operate, and building an environment of trust and acceptance makes for strong, innovative and (relatively) peaceful teams.Not only have I "run it all", but I've "done it all". Security/gap engineering, operations, incident response, architecture/EA, security testing, vulnerability management, compliance reviews, developed governance plans and work in AWS, Azure, Google and Oracle Compute clouds.I've run security teams for failed and successful start-ups, for small, medium and large corporations, and governmental organizations.I love "thinking out loud" and am not afraid to be wrong when seeking the path to being right. I shall treat you similarly.
Listed skills include Security, Linux, Solaris, Information Security, and 44 others.
