What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in network and system security, risk management, and compliance. My career has been marked by a commitment to aligning security policies with operational goals to effectively mitigate threats and enforce best practices. (NIST, FedRAMP, ISO Standards)

Previously, I was a Senior Cyber Security Engineer at Lockheed Martin, where I played a pivotal role in developing an automated script that streamlined Security Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIG) checks for various systems. This innovation not only saved hundreds of hours in manual checks but also enforced best practices, resulting in substantial cost savings for the organization. My expertise extends to utilizing advanced tools such as Splunk, Nessus, and Security Center to enhance system compliance and Vulnerability Management.
