His background in naval cryptologic operations informs a disciplined security-first approach, including DISA STIG implementation and successful cybersecurity inspections. Currently a Systems Engineer supporting the Satellite Control Network and pursuing CCNP, he pairs practical field experience with an architect’s perspective.
