Intro

I'm a Cloud Security & Network Operations professional with a background in Windows system administration and a decade of experience deploying and managing large-scale infrastructure. I led a $20M dual-cellular device deployment from architecture to completion - which resulted in a $30M expansion from the same client.

Currently, I work as a Cyber Security Analyst at the CDC, where I direct major incident response operations and help safeguard national and global infrastructure. I manage escalations across a hybrid NOSC (NOC/SOC) environment, write After-Action Reports for federal leadership, and align operations with FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST frameworks. My daily toolkit includes CrowdStrike, Trellix, Azure, Splunk, ServiceNow, Cisco platforms, AWS, SolarWinds, Archer, and Meraki - and I’m as comfortable on the CLI as I am in root cause analysis or stakeholder briefings.

Outside of work, I’m an electronics nerd at heart. I’ve built custom 3D printers (including one that’s entirely 3D-printed), raced FPV drones, and soldered together a mechanical keyboard from scratch - keycaps, matrix wiring, and firmware included. My soldering iron sees more action than most power tools.

I thrive where deep tech meets hands-on creativity. If you’d like to collaborate, troubleshoot something interesting, or just geek out over embedded systems, feel free to check out my resume or reach out!

Projects

I'll be placing a couple projects here soon

One of my favorite projects that I'd love to upload is a bathroom renovation that I completed all of the work on, including plumbing, electrical, drywalling, and tiling. Photos to come.
