About
I have ~4 years of experience as a Lead Cybersecurity Analyst, in addition to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Networking and Cybersecurity, and an Applied Associate of Science Degree in Information Systems Security. Through education and experience, I have the skills that companies need to protect their confidential information from external and internal threats.
In addition to my education, I have obtained the following industry certifications:
SEC401 – GSEC Security Essentials
SEC503 – GCIA Intrusion Detection In-Depth
SEC504 – Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits & IR
SEC511 – Continuous Monitoring
SEC542 – Web App Pen Testing & EH
SEC560 – Network Penetration Testing and EH
FOR572 – Advanced Network Forensics
I am extremely proficient in Splunk SPL, capable of developing a solution to any problem you can imagine. I most enjoy creating new tools to enhance my own analysis, as well as my peers. I am constantly hunting for threats in the enterprise, while always seeking to automate repeatable tasks, allowing my peers and I to focus on the most important aspects of our roles.
I have experience with a multitude of software pertaining to every relevant environment for networking and security. I am skilled with all Microsoft products, and have training in Java, Python, Perl and SQL. In addition to my experience in a Microsoft environment, I am also adept at using Linux products for network security and penetration testing, digital forensics, and network administration. I am also trained in forensic measures relating to mobile devices.
I thrive in a dynamic group environment, but I am just as comfortable and focused when tackling projects solo and I am able to multi-task very effectively. I also have excellent communication skills honed through my work in tech support, both in an external customer facing, and internal help desk oriented role. I enjoy public speaking and make it my mission to always assist those around me in any way I can.
