What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or support mission-focused cybersecurity work spanning security operations, incident response, threat hunting, vulnerability management, IAM, and security architecture in a collaborative environment aligned with NIST, Zero Trust, and continuous improvement.

I've supported DoD Cyber Defense Command through Apex Systems and Leidos, leading incident response, threat hunting, digital forensics, vulnerability management, and security architecture for mission-critical enterprise environments.

At DCS Corp, I managed the security lifecycle for 12+ Army systems, processed 200+ CVE/CWE assessments annually, and advised O5/O6 leadership on risk mitigation. I also built security documentation, translated requirements into engineering specifications, and mentored IT teams on security administration and compliance.

My background combines federal security operations, IAM modernization, continuous monitoring, and Zero Trust implementation with leadership experience supervising and mentoring technical teams. I work across NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, SIEM, SOAR, cloud security, and container security to turn technical findings into actionable guidance.
