Experienced CISSP and a QRadar Project Technical Lead at Deloitte, my role centers around collaboration with cross-functional teams to better align QRadar deployments with multiple agencies' use cases. My latest project centers on integrating a state client's SSO infrastructure with the IBM Security QRadar Cloud-Native SaaS suite.Formerly a SIEM Architect at Graylog and an Enterprise Security Architect at EDS, I bring a forward-thinking perspective developed through observing the successes and failures of others, substantial hands-on experience, and my own brand of problem-solving. My dedication to safeguarding clients' infrastructure and data is paired with a commitment to meeting interdisciplinary IT architecture and cybersecurity challenges.My background is suitable to a variety of roles. I can bootstrap tasks and projects for which there is no organizational expertise or in-house playbook. And I excel at getting my arms around challenges of indeterminate scope or complexity, working around groupthink, and sometimes disentangling problems that others gave up on. Looking for an Ace in the hole? I’m seeking an opportunity to work with teammates who have some passion for their craft, and which offers paths to leadership while rewarding forward-thinking vision. My ideal role is a strategic opportunity 1) to add value through innovative techniques and non-linear thinking, 2) which permits some latitude for my own professional discretion, and 3) where my teammates and I have leadership's support to explore innovative enhancements to our mainstream tools such as zero-trust security, composable and software-defined infrastructure, or other interesting tools to diversify and strengthen our security countermeasures.
