Message

At ARS (APPLIED RESEARCH SOLUTIONS), I assist with cybersecurity activities for aeronautical weapon systems, including software code reviews, vulnerability assessments, and Program Protection Plans. I also support security control overlays and incident response.

At BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON, I led the IA team’s RMF/JSIG work, created ATO packages, and managed organizational security policies. Earlier, I supported ATO assessments across Air Force Platform IT systems at KBR and HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES.

My network engineering work included helping upgrade the WPAFB backbone from 1G to 10G at GENERAL DYNAMICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. I also supported network infrastructure at Riverside Research and deployed under Operation ENDURING FREEDOM and Air Defense of the Arabian Gulf with the OHIO AIR NATIONAL GUARD.
