About
Applied knowledge in the use of technology is my bread and butter. Applied knowledge is putting understanding to appropriate use within a given context. My context of choice lies within the realm of cyber-security & the cloud - where intricate technological strategies must be deployed to protect critical organizational resources.
Technology is a neutral force meaning it can be used for good, or it can be used to take advantage of vulnerabilities present within an organization's infrastructure to create costly exploits that can cause significant damage to a business.
This is where I come in - I use my knowledge of cybersecurity vulnerability management & governance to form unique solutions that help organizations identify, categorize, prioritize, and resolve system vulnerabilities.
I enjoy engaging in new opportunities and meeting people, whereby I am given the chance to expand my working knowledge and self-definition. Feel free to reach out on how we can work together to grow.
