At Verizon Wireless Systems, I engineer detection use cases across Splunk Enterprise Security, Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike Falcon, and Cortex XDR, reducing false-positive volume by 28%. I also strengthened AWS security posture, resolving high-risk cloud configuration findings by 31%.

I automated security-response workflows with Python, PowerShell, REST APIs, and SOAR, shortening repetitive enrichment and containment activities by 35%. I also architected Zero Trust identity controls and embedded application-security controls into delivery pipelines.

Earlier, at Iron Vine Security, I built ServiceNow dashboards that reduced incident turnaround time by 50%. At Oneweb, I automated deployment of 1,200+ ground servers and workstations in support of the launch of 40 Low-Earth Orbit satellites; at Nomad Digital, my AWS cost-benefit analysis influenced a migration that generated approximately $500K in savings.
