IT Professional with 20 years of experience across programming, system administration, networking, and cybersecurity. My work has included SOC operations, penetration testing (25+ engagements, including a Fortune 500 client), incident response, and security architecture using tools like Google Chronicle, Datadog, SumoLogic, Microsoft Sentinel, Cortex XSOAR, Splunk, QRadar, Elastic, Wazuh, and AlienVault, other tools in the field also find inside the XDR/EDR, DLP and Threat Intelligence space. On the development side, I work primarily with Python for automation and scripting, and I build workflows using n8n and AI integrations to help businesses save time and reduce manual work. I also have experience with PHP, Bash, and PowerShell across Linux and Windows environments. Beyond IT, I am a published writer (Epigraph Press) and have taught cybersecurity at the graduate level. I bring the same discipline and attention to detail to every project, whether it involves securing an environment, automating a process, or writing content.
