VIOS System Manager/ISSO at PCI Inc., improving engineering tool stability and automating secure compliance workflows.

At PCI Inc., I support engineering teams by administering IBM Power Systems (AIX/VIOS) and Linux/RHEL environments for modeling, simulation, and system development. I improved tool stability while reducing downtime by 30%.

I apply DISA STIGs and CIS Benchmarks to Linux systems, reducing audit findings by 40%. I also automated patching, monitoring, and compliance workflows with Shell and Python, cutting manual workload by 25%.

Previously, I supported engineering environments at ESP Inc. and worked as a Software Engineer at Apple, where I developed automation and monitoring pipelines. In the U.S. Army, I supported technical teams and led training on cybersecurity procedures and secure system operations.
