@clintuser3
I lead cybersecurity and systems programs, turning vulnerability, compliance, and operational risk into accountable execution.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Northrop Grumman, I manage end-to-end vulnerability operations for a Special Access Program network of approximately 10,000 systems nationwide. I direct scanning, analysis, remediation timelines, and executive reporting using Nessus and Splunk.
I previously served as an ISSO supporting classified-network compliance, vulnerability scanning, system audits, and remediation coordination. My work contributed to a successful security inspection with zero critical findings.
My project leadership spans large-scale systems implementation, operations, contracts, and logistics. At Koch Industries, I led a 37-person team through a CMMS implementation and helped achieve 98% equipment availability while reducing costs.
As a U.S. Army veteran, I've planned the deployment of a 4,500-person combat team, managed more than $2M in government contracts, and led global readiness efforts for personnel and equipment. I bring active Top Secret clearance and a focus on disciplined execution across complex, high-stakes programs.
