I've worked with almost everything computer technology related. I'm an expert at understanding complex systems and providing paths for improvement. I have an extensive background in both hardware and software. I have experience with company mergers and keeping IT compliances with various standards including CMMC, HIPPA, PCI, NIST 800-53/171, UKCE. I'm very familiar with O365 and O365 GCC High. Everything from hybrid integration to automations including provisioning automation. I've also saved companies a lot of money by doing designing and executing mail migration projects moving and from on-prem to O365 GCC High or from other providers to O365 GCC high. I've enjoyed doing eDiscovery / forensics jobs for various law firms and cyber security departments, as well as writing forensics playbooks for incident response. I'm an administrator for; Okta, Duo, RSA, Exchange, O365 GCC High E3/E5, Active Directory, MS Certificate Authority, vSphere, Proofpoint, Cisco AMP, Symantec Endpoint, Ivanti, SolarWinds, LogRhythm, Cortex XDR, GitLab, Docker, Windows, RHEL, Ubuntu. I design and write scripts to do anything on any platform. I've analyzed malware/trojans by; identifying unknown software, disassembling and reverse engineering it, identify malware/trojan source and purpose, creating a way to automate identification and removal, and reporting it to various anti-virus companies. The more complicated the project is, the more likely I will enjoy completing it. I tend to find anything that's not working correctly identify the solution. "If you see trash, you pick it up." I have yet to find a company that doesn't have an abundance of broken things or security issues they weren't even aware of. I'm often the guy that gets called when people can't figure out why something isn't working as expected for months or years and I often have the answer it in day, sometimes less.
