What I'm looking for
I’m an Infrastructure, Cybersecurity & Technical Operations Engineer with 20+ years of experience across communications, cybersecurity, and infrastructure operations in mission-critical environments. I’m known for disciplined execution, operational judgment, and taking ownership to modernize complex systems with reliability and discretion.
I’ve led cross-functional teams through large-scale data center modernization, delivering secure, resilient platforms that strengthen operational continuity. My background spans secure communications, network architecture, incident response, threat intelligence, malware analysis, reverse engineering, and digital forensics—with an emphasis on evidence preservation and security policy design.
From managing NOC/SOC, satellite WAN operations to leading cybersecurity R&D and IT modernization programs, I focus on proactive risk management, automation, and high-availability systems. I also bring hands-on systems integration expertise across Linux/Windows Server operations, virtualization (VMware, Nutanix), and monitoring/automation for operational improvement.
