I'm a network and security engineer with 8+ years of remote and on-site experience across finance, defense, and education—designing resilient systems, securing critical infrastructure, and training the next generation of cybersecurity talent.

From securing bank networks and leading DevSecOps initiatives for DoD systems, to teaching real-world packet analysis and defense tactics in the classroom—I’ve seen how solid infrastructure and smart people make or break an organization. I bring both.

What I do best:

Analyze packets, not just plug cables

Build secure cloud and on-prem networks

Break down complex problems, fast

Teach and mentor with clarity and passion

Operate independently with high standards and zero ego

Certs & Tools: Security+, AWS (pursuing SA), RMF (DoD 8510.01), Wireshark, Splunk, Linux, Cisco, pgAdmin, Docker/Kubernetes, Active Directory, network hardening, and hands-on incident response.

What sets me apart: While others focused on paper certs, I was building, securing, and teaching real-world systems. I’ve thrived remotely for 8 years—not because it’s convenient, but because it demands clarity, ownership, and results.

Born and raised in NYC and Philadelphia. Living closer to nature—working like I’m still in the heart of a tech hub. After years of working in fast-paced, high-stakes environments—from Philadelphia to fully remote DevSecOps roles—I made a personal choice to live in a quieter region without compromising the depth or quality of my work. I’ve delivered at a high level for 8+ years remotely, and I bring that same focus, accountability, and professionalism to every role I take on—no matter the zip code.

Looking for: Remote or remote-friendly roles in network engineering, infrastructure security, or cloud systems—where deep thinking, strong execution, and autonomy are valued.
