What I'm looking for

I'm looking to strengthen cloud, SOC, identity, and DevSecOps security capabilities in a regulated environment where I can automate controls, investigate threats, and contribute to practical security operations.

I support security operations at Infinite Campus across 150+ school district environments, administering Splunk, Kaseya, Active Directory, and Microsoft SQL Server while triaging security events and coordinating risk-based remediation.

As a Cyber Operations Officer with the Minnesota Army National Guard’s DoD Cyber Protection Team, I apply NIST 800-53, STIG, and CIS controls, support RMF activities, and direct blue-team exercises against simulated nation-state and eCrime intrusions.

I build hands-on AWS, Azure, SOC, and Kubernetes security labs using Terraform, Sentinel, KQL, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Python, PowerShell, and security automation. I also document playbooks, runbooks, audit evidence, and clear security findings for technical and non-technical audiences.
