What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote infrastructure or security engineering role.

At Ellucian, I served as the on-site infrastructure and security lead for Hocking College, managing network, security, and communications infrastructure under a managed services contract.

I migrated legacy Juniper switching to Cisco Meraki across wired and wireless networks, and replaced the college’s Mitel telephony system with Zoom Phone.

I installed and maintained FortiGate firewalls and administered VPN access, network segmentation, security monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response.

Earlier, at ROCKY BRANDS INC., I managed IT and infrastructure departments, planned and budgeted technology projects, and supported SOX IT General Controls compliance.
