What I'm looking for
I am a security-focused professional with extensive experience in security research, engineering, and operations. My career has been marked by a proven ability to analyze complex network security threats and implement robust security controls. I excel in project management, risk assessment, and compliance, driving projects from inception to delivery while balancing competing priorities.
At United Parcel Service, I have successfully monitored and analyzed micro-segmentation traffic, created dashboards, and conducted vulnerability assessments to identify and prioritize security risks. My role involved developing and implementing procedures for quarantining non-compliant assets and deploying Illumio micro-segmentation solutions to enforce granular access controls. I leverage industry best practices to streamline operations and achieve organizational goals, ensuring that security measures are both effective and efficient.
With a background in technical project management at Thomson Reuters, I have led software deployments for Fortune 500 companies, ensuring system vulnerability mitigation through timely patching and providing essential training to customer help desks. My diverse experience across various roles has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity principles and practices, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
