As a dynamic IT leader with over 20 years of experience, I’ve honed the ability to build and manage secure, scalable, and high-performing networks and systems across the government, military, and private sectors. From designing cutting-edge infrastructures to leading complex migrations, I bring a strategic mindset and technical depth to every project, always focused on driving business growth, optimizing costs, and enhancing the end-user experience. Why I Stand Out: • Cybersecurity Expertise: Actively pursuing a B.S. in IT with a Cybersecurity focus, and holding certifications like CompTIA Security+, VMware vSphere, and Linux+. Always on the cutting edge of cybersecurity trends to keep systems secure. • Leadership Focused: I believe in empowering my teams to succeed. My leadership approach centers around mentorship, collaboration, and trust, helping my staff flourish and thrive. After all, a team that works well together achieves amazing things. • Big-Picture Problem Solver: Whether it’s tackling networking challenges, optimizing cloud solutions (AWS), or securing infrastructure, I think outside the box and find impactful solutions that keep operations smooth and secure. Core Skills: • Cloud & Virtualization: AWS, VMware, Veeam Availability Suite • Cybersecurity & Compliance: Penetration Testing, Firewall Configuration, Risk Mitigation • Infrastructure Scaling & Disaster Recovery: Systems Optimization, Backup, and Continuity Solutions • Cross-Functional Leadership: Vendor Relations, Stakeholder Engagement, Team Leadership Tools & Platforms I Excel With: AWS, Google Suites, Veeam, Slack Admin, Zoom, PagerDuty, Zendesk, DocuSign, Okta, and many more. What Drives Me? I’m passionate about solving complex problems, creating efficient IT systems, and building high-performing teams.
