About

Cybersecurity professional with proven expertise in securing cloud, hybrid, and enterprise environments for government and commercial organizations. I thrive in high-pressure, mission-critical settings, bringing sharp attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset that makes me the “go-to” engineer for complex challenges. I hold certifications aligned with DoD 8570 baseline and advanced security roles, including CISSP, GCIH, GSOC, CASP+, Security+, GSEC, Linux+, Cloud+, GISF, GFACT, Splunk Enterprise Certified Administrator, and Microsoft Certified Security Operations Associate. These credentials reflect my ability to operate across IAT Level II/III, IAM Level I/II, IASAE Level II, CSSP Analyst, and CSSP Infrastructure Support categories. My technical background spans Microsoft Security (Sentinel, Defender, Entra ID), Splunk, AWS, Cisco, Red Hat, and Zero Trust architectures. I specialize in building scalable SOC capabilities, automating compliance workflows (FISMA, NIST, DISA STIGs), and integrating SIEM/SOAR platforms to reduce risk and accelerate incident response. At the intersection of cloud security, identity management, and log analytics, I help organizations strengthen cyber resilience, detect advanced threats, and enforce Zero Trust across their environments. My passion lies in empowering teams, protecting digital assets, and contributing to Microsoft’s mission of securing the modern digital landscape
