I secure OT/ICS environments through threat detection and incident response.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm applying 15+ years of hands-on OT/ICS operations experience to cybersecurity, bringing direct experience with BMS, SCADA-like controllers, PLC-driven systems, and BACnet networks.
At LOGN Pacific, I deliver security engineering projects in Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint, Tenable, and Azure. I've implemented vulnerability management across a roughly 200-server environment, authored 20+ KQL threat-hunting queries, and produced MITRE ATT&CK-mapped incident reports.
At County College of Morris, I monitor and maintain building automation systems, troubleshoot GCL+ PLC scripts, and administer least-privilege access for critical HVAC, boiler, and electrical infrastructure. My field-level OT context informs how I investigate anomalies and respond to threats across IT and OT environments.
