What I'm looking for

I'm looking to embrace a Director-level role focused on enterprise risk management and information security, building and nurturing trusting partnerships with customers and vendors around the world.

At Irby Utilities, I design and stand up data centers for customers, including a standardized design that supported six data center deployments. I also created DCaaS, which the company used to launch a new revenue stream for smaller businesses.

At Silicon Valley Power for the City of Santa Clara, I designed network infrastructure and maintained communications supporting utility operations. Earlier, with Marine Special Operations Command, I developed network capabilities and supported teams and systems across multiple locations.
