Noel Sterling is a Cyber Intel Analyst and lead engineer with nine years of experience hardening and automating secure systems for space and defense programs, holding a Top Secret clearance since 2019. Based in Colorado Springs, he blends hands-on DevSecOps (Ansible, Splunk ES, Cribl) and scripting (Bash) with software leadership—maintaining GitLab repos, orchestrating patch releases, and mentoring developer teams on the Triple C program. His background spans full-stack development and research, from K–12 production systems (Django, PostgreSQL, React/TypeScript) to scalable data prototypes, giving him a rare mix of application development and operational security expertise. Notably, he has driven test automation and CI improvements (jUnit, Mockito, Docker) and built custom tooling for STIG automation and SOC load testing, demonstrating an ability to translate security requirements into reliable, testable pipelines.
