I’m a second‑generation IT professional who grew up around servers and command prompts, and I’ve spent the last 20 years turning that early curiosity into a career. Today I work as a Senior Solutions Consultant, focused on the intersection of security and IT operations: identity and access, endpoint protection, network hardening, patch and configuration management, and operational resilience.
My style is straightforward—plain‑English explanations, right‑sized solutions, and a bias toward automation and documentation so teams can sustain results long after go‑live. When security and operations work together, organizations get fewer surprises and more time to deliver for their customers.
