Carlos Gil
@carlosgil3
I'm transitioning military leadership and network-security training into a cybersecurity engineering career.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building a cybersecurity career through Total Cyber Solutions' Cybersecurity Engineer Program, where I analyze port networks, monitor network activity, investigate SIEM and SOAR reports, and recommend system-hardening changes.
As a US Army Section Leader, I've led a nine-person team, maintained accountability for more than $6 million in equipment, improved vehicle readiness from 50% to 100%, and supported successful operations with no injuries.
I've also trained vehicle crews, established operating procedures, mentored Soldiers through promotion interviews, and deployed across Army Europe. I bring active Secret clearance, Security+, CySA+, CEH, Spanish fluency, and a goal of leading a cybersecurity team after mastering the fundamentals.
