What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity and network management, with a focus on collaboration and innovation.

I am an accomplished IT Specialist with a strong background in managing secure communication systems and implementing robust security protocols. My experience includes securing network infrastructure, conducting vulnerability assessments, and ensuring the seamless operation of printer systems. I pride myself on my ability to enhance network protection through effective firewall configurations and thorough system analysis.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my expertise in cybersecurity protocols and network administration. At the U.S. Army, I led the secure network infrastructure for the 126th Cyber Battalion, overseeing the integration and security of network printers. My role involved spearheading the installation and upkeep of diverse network equipment, ensuring optimal performance, and implementing strategic countermeasures to safeguard critical systems.

I am passionate about contributing to comprehensive cybersecurity training programs and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deploy and troubleshoot classified communication systems. My commitment to minimizing downtime through effective disaster recovery planning has been pivotal in my professional journey.
