IT and cybersecurity professional securing FISMA-regulated environments through active defense and compliant operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT Support and Cybersecurity professional with 3+ years of enterprise experience in a FISMA-regulated federal government environment. I focus on Active Directory administration, endpoint security, incident response, and IT compliance under NIST frameworks to keep operations secure and reliable.
In my Technical Security Specialist role, I monitor and operate enterprise-grade electronic surveillance and access control infrastructure, enforce physical and digital access control protocols, and maintain detailed access logs to ensure accountability. I investigate, document, and escalate security incidents in compliance with site security policies, producing thorough written reports for each event.
Previously, as an IT Specialist contracted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I delivered Tier 1 and Tier 2 support for 85–150 personnel daily while resolving ~100 tickets per day with consistent SLA adherence. I maintained NIST 800-53 compliance, managed Active Directory user lifecycle and Group Policy enforcement to reduce unauthorized access risk, handled high-volume incidents in ServiceNow ITSM, and supported deployment, updates, and patch management to minimize downtime and vulnerability exposure.
