Vanessa Diaz
@vanessadiaz
I am a security operations and customer-service professional transitioning to frontend web development.
What I'm looking for
I am a security operations specialist with multi-year experience at a large technology campus, working in security operations from June 2017 to September 2023 and supporting site safety and visitor management. I combine disciplined safety practices with strong client-facing skills.
I scheduled and coordinated appointments across multiple sites, managed front desk check-ins and clearances, documented incidents and daily operations, and maintained detailed inventory and tracking logs. I regularly performed traffic and crowd control, radio communication, de-escalation, and first-aid response.
Earlier roles include courthouse screening, convention security, outreach and community-facing positions, and a Global Service Desk internship where I provisioned devices with Casper, managed ticket queues, and supported new-hire setups. I completed Year Up / Foothill College coursework in Business Communications and Network Support System training.
I bring meticulous recordkeeping, strong customer service, and safety-first leadership to teams while actively training in frontend development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I am eager to apply my operational experience and emerging technical skills in collaborative, process-driven environments.
