Summary
Brian Dehlinger is an IT consultant and cybersecurity-minded engineer with eight years of experience designing and implementing secure, automated infrastructure for small and medium enterprises. He combines hands-on expertise in cloud (AWS), endpoint management (Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Intune), EDR migrations, and PowerShell automation with a background in data engineering and software architecture. Brian has led large-scale operational conversions—automating MDM and antivirus/EDR rollouts for ~700 users—while mapping controls to NIST frameworks and building repeatable, auditable processes. His work spans Kubernetes/EKS, secrets management, SIEM, and ETL/orchestration, reflecting a practical fluency across security, devops, and data stacks. A lifelong self-learner with degrees in biology and bioinformatics, he brings scientific rigor to systems design and a particular interest in group development and emotional growth cultivated through leadership workshops and outdoor pursuits. Outside work he’s often rock climbing, backpacking, or testing resilience in the field—an unexpected complement to his methodical, security-first engineering approach.
