What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role focused on RMF lifecycle execution, risk governance, and automated compliance—where I can build Tanium/Splunk-driven continuous monitoring, reduce audit burden, and strengthen enterprise security posture.

I’m a retired U.S. Navy IT professional and Disabled Veteran, serving as a Cyber Security Analyst/ISSO and Tanium Administrator with 20+ years of DoD experience in RMF compliance, vulnerability management, and enterprise network security. I manage eMASS packages, validate security controls, and support ATO/ASR authorizations across multi-enclave environments, including air-gapped networks.

In my current role, I integrated Tanium, Evaluate-STIG, and Splunk to deliver real-time STIG compliance visibility and continuous monitoring across 400+ servers and workstations. I engineered Tanium sensors, packages, and Scheduled Actions to automate STIG assessments and hardening validation—reducing manual compliance efforts by 50%—and leveraged Splunk dashboards to analyze over a billion log events for risk-based decision-making. I also led RMF lifecycle execution (Prepare–Monitor) for 10+ eMASS security packages across five enclaves, produced SSPs/control plans and assessment results, and closed 600+ findings by partnering on POA&M remediation and validated risk mitigation; I’m actively pursuing CISM with a focus on risk governance and RMF lifecycle management.
