What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support mission-critical operations by modernizing SCADA/enterprise systems, strengthening security and compliance, and keeping systems highly available through automation, monitoring, and reliable backup-and-recovery.

I combine a master’s degree in information management with extensive experience in federal critical infrastructure, enterprise systems administration, and military logistics. I design, implement, and maintain remote-control and SCADA environments, integrating SUTRON 9210 PLCs, HMIs, and AQUARIUS data monitoring software to modernize mission-critical operations.

I ensure systems availability through proactive monitoring and troubleshooting, and I execute data backups and restoration processes with verified integrity. Security is a core focus—I correct vulnerabilities based on technical reports and maintain strict compliance with federal regulations and Reclamation standards.
