As a Defensive Cyber Warfare Officer in the United States Air Force, I have led diverse teams tasked with safeguarding critical U.S. and allied digital infrastructure. My leadership spans a broad range of cyber defense operations, from tactical threat hunting and incident response to forensic malware analysis and intelligence integration. I specialize in designing and executing strategies that prevent and neutralize advanced cyber threats, ensuring the operational readiness and security of Department of Defense networks across global theaters.Throughout my career, I have been consistently selected for roles of increasing scope and responsibility due to my technical expertise, operational insights, and a relentless commitment to safeguarding national interests. I have led teams in high-pressure, mission-critical situations, providing strategic and technical leadership to ensure mission success. Whether it's securing Air Force networks against adversaries or leading interagency collaboration to eliminate cyber threats, I bring a results-driven approach to every challenge.My passion for cybersecurity extends to a strategic focus, where my efforts have contributed to the success of National Security Strategy priorities. In addition to my professional pursuits, I am an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which sharpens my discipline and problem-solving skills, and I enjoy technical scuba diving and cave diving, which fuel my adventurous spirit and appreciation for teamwork in challenging environments.I am now preparing for the next chapter of my career. I will be separating from the U.S. Air Force on July 31, 2025, and I am actively seeking my next opportunity to leverage my leadership experience and cybersecurity expertise in the private sector or government roles. I am excited to bring my unique perspective, gained through years of managing international cyber defense concerns, to an organization focused on enhancing its cybersecurity resilience and operations.
