What I'm looking for
At the U.S. Army, I administered 500 Active Directory accounts through the full lifecycle, enforcing least-privilege access with 98% accuracy. I also served as a Trusted Agent, issuing and managing security tokens through ATIMS.
As an Information Technology Manager at the U.S. Army, I supported the Command Cyber Readiness Inspection for the 1st Space Battalion and wrote standard operating procedures for the S6 shop.
At RapidAscent, I reviewed Wazuh SIEM logs, triaged alerts, and documented findings and indicators of compromise. I also used Nmap and vulnerability scans, applied STIG baselines, and tracked findings through remediation.
I built Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with OWASP ZAP for automated DAST and scripted routine security and administration tasks in Bash, PowerShell, and Python. I hold CompTIA CySA+, Security+, and Network+, Cisco CCNA, and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certifications.
