Summary
👤
SeniorJulian West is a pragmatic DevOps engineer in San Jose with a decade of hands-on experience and over 20 years in technical support, blending deep troubleshooting chops with a growing specialty in cybersecurity and system administration. He has investigated telemetry and software crashes, collaborated closely with developers and ops teams to resolve critical incidents, and built practical tooling—Bash and Python scripts—to enrich firewall logs with threat intelligence. Recently he’s focused on modern infrastructure: deploying Suricata on pfSense, triggering and analyzing IDS alerts, and building dashboards to visualize network activity and accelerate response. Julian has also built a Microsoft Entra ID/Intune/Endpoint Security lab to validate real-world MDM and compliance scenarios, reflecting his belief that knowing how systems fail is as important as how they’re built. Comfortable across Linux, Windows, and hybrid cloud environments, he combines persistence and curiosity with strong problem-solving to automate remediation and harden configurations. An “OG nerd” and musician at heart, he manages packets, projects, and people while delivering reliable, secure systems.
