James Delayo is a pragmatic cybersecurity engineer with a decade of hands-on IT and security experience, currently advancing security posture at the ACLU after progressing internally from IT support to engineering. He combines practitioner-first troubleshooting with systems engineering—designing networks, automations, and monitoring tools across nonprofit and consulting roles. Comfortable in both ops and development, he has built proprietary network-monitoring solutions, implemented VOIP/firewall systems, and delivered software automation for big-data workflows. Bronx-born and Brooklyn-based, he brings a community-rooted perspective and event/people-facing experience from arts and retail roles that help translate technical risk into clear operational priorities. His background ranges from frontline user support and student network administration to formal training in Google IT Support and immersive Android development, reflecting a versatile, self-driven technologist.
