As a highly skilled Information Technology Professional, I have hands-on experience in networking, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and system administration. Throughout my professional and educational career, I have gained outstanding knowledge of information security by maintaining a “big picture” focus on evolving cyber threats and constantly consuming new technologies, tools, and languages that strengthen network efficiency and digital resiliency. My background encompasses acting as an IT Website Manager and Intranet Operator, where I have excelled in leveraging networking, data analysis, and computer science expertise to identify areas that require special attention. With my ability to “think like a hacker” and robust business acumen, I am proficient in combatting the full range of techniques and strategies hackers might employ to exploit organizational vulnerabilities. Channeling my aptitude to identify innovative solutions for increasingly complex business problems, I frequently emulate adversary tactics and procedures to test preventative, detective, and response controls across the global technology landscape.Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree program in Criminal Justice, Computer and Information Science, where I have acquired vast knowledge of latest cybersecurity practices. Borrowing from my certifications in data science, network devices, CCNA, and VMware, I am adept at creating consistent approaches to offensive security processes and techniques to protect data ad ensure uninterrupted network connectivity. I am really in my element when refining processes, rejuvenating teams, cultivating meaningful professional relationships, and steering IT projects. I always enjoy connecting with like-minded people.
