As a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over 23 years in the industry, I currently serve as an R&D Wireless Security SME, Penetration Tester & Vulnerability Researcher at IT Veterans. My expertise spans across multiple security operation centers within the DoD, DoJ, and DHS, where I've been instrumental in building offensive security capabilities. I've successfully launched and managed startups focused on advanced offensive security R&D and cyber security application development with machine learning.
I'm a combat veteran who served with the U.S. Army in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I hold a BS in Information Systems and Security, an MS in Information Systems and Technology Management, and I'm pursuing a PhD in Information Technology at George Mason University. In my spare time, I actively participate in computer security and hacking competitions, placing 2nd in the world preliminary finals at the Cyberlympics team event and 4th in the individual hacking competition at Hacker Halted.
My core qualifications include penetration testing, network defense, incident response, forensics, and a strong foundation in various operating systems, networking, and programming languages. I hold over 21 industry-recognized certifications, such as CISSP, ECSA, GCFA, LPT, and CPT. My publications in magazines like eForensics and Hackin9 showcase my thought leadership and technical expertise. I've held key positions at organizations such as Shutterfly LLC, Robin Healthcare, IT Veterans, Spry Methods, Secure Mission Solutions, and CGI Federal.
I continue to focus on cybersecurity research at George Mason University, I remain committed to pushing the boundaries of offensive security and contributing to the advancement of the field.
