What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive enterprise identity and security automation—bridging IT operations and protection of critical assets—where I can architect secure workflows, improve uptime and efficiency, and continuously reduce vulnerabilities at scale.

I’m a Solutions-driven Systems and Automation Engineer with over 15 years of IT experience, focused on enterprise-scale infrastructure, identity lifecycle management, and security. I architect and automate complex workflows to improve efficiency, reduce vulnerabilities, and protect critical assets.

In my current role (01/2022 – present) as a Database Administrator/Systems & Automation Engineer, I spearheaded the district’s identity lifecycle project (Joiners, Movers, Leavers) using PowerShell, Python, and Power Automate—streamlining user management and automating password resets. I also serve as a secondary Microsoft Entra administrator, engineering automated remediation workflows for high-risk user detections.

I manage and maintain Avigilon Unity Video and Access across 52 district locations, supporting an environment of 4,000+ cameras and 10,000+ access control doors. I’ve designed emergency automation with InformaCast to trigger instant Unity Access door lockdowns during critical scenarios, while also administering Tyler Enterprise ERP and ensuring data integrity.
