Accomplished cybersecurity leader specializing in Zero Trust Architecture.
I am an accomplished cybersecurity and IT leader with a strong focus on Zero Trust Architecture, risk management, and enterprise security solutions. My expertise lies in designing and implementing advanced frameworks that minimize attack surfaces and enhance organizational maturity levels. I pride myself on being an effective communicator and team leader, with a proven track record of boosting operational efficiency and ensuring compliance across all levels of the organization.
In my recent role as Zero Trust Principal Security System Architect at ShorePoint, I successfully created and marketed a simplified definition of Zero Trust, leading to the development of a comprehensive security strategy for the Federal Department of Education. This initiative not only positioned our firm as a leader in Zero Trust solutions but also earned me the company’s first Mission Impact Award. My ability to engage stakeholders and simplify complex concepts has been instrumental in driving projects forward and securing new business opportunities.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to enhancing cybersecurity measures and optimizing IT infrastructure. From minimizing downtime as a Senior Network Administrator at Ruoff Home Mortgage to leading cloud services at Aptera Software, I have developed a robust skill set that includes risk management, network administration, and strategic planning. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create secure and efficient environments for organizations.
