What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise cybersecurity engagements where I can own Prisma/NGFW/SASE issue resolution end-to-end, automate security workflows, mentor cross-functional teams, and deliver reliable migrations while meeting SLAs and KPIs.

I’m a Lead Cybersecurity Engineer with 20+ years of experience in Infrastructure and Network Security, including 17.7 years at AT&T through LevelBlue. I specialize in Palo Alto NGFW and Prisma SASE/SSE deployments (including SDWAN ION), driving issue resolution from client join to internal/vendor calls and ensuring robust security outcomes.

I’ve led Prisma SASE/SSE work for 15+ clients, coordinated 500+ migrations and 1000+ upgrades/changes, and streamlined security operations to resolve change tasks without interruption. I also automate security workflows with ServiceNow, lead security architecture for Prisma SDWAN/Prisma Access, bridge Service Delivery and Service Assurance on D1–D2 migration issues, and support post-migration stability. Recognized with the Cybersecurity Connection award (2021, 2023), I thrive on incident resolution, client relationship management, and taking new challenges with strong work ethics and adaptability.
