❏ I worked with various development and project teams to design the most efficient and secure cloud environments. The deployments were mostly in Azure, a few in Oracle and AWS clouds.
❏ I evangelized for better instrumentation that resulted in better visibility into applications running in serverless and container environments.
❏ I evangelized and taught other architects advanced Threat Modeling that ensures better coverage.
❏ I introduced the use of Confluence to better collaborate with the project and development teams with the development and review of the Enterprise Software Design documents.
❏ I provide input regarding updates to the Information Security policies and standards.

❏ I evangelize Cybersecurity technologies and concepts to students who are
expanding their knowledge of Cybersecurity, doing a career change, or
completely new to the technology field. By the end of my 24-week session, I
can take anyone and make them successful security professionals.
❏ In addition to the prepared course material, I include many of my own materials
for those students who want to go deep. That includes teaching them how to
detect obscure attacks, hacking wireless, hacking code, and more.
❏ I go the extra mile for my students by running Security+, CEH, CCSP, and
CISSP.study sessions and webinars on other advanced security technologies
outside of the class and even after their graduation to help ensure their
success and to keep them motivated.
❏ The topics and technologies that I cover are too much for a resume, see this
website for more information. https : //bootcamp.ce.uci.edu/cybersecurity/
