About Me

I'm a Network Operations Center Manager with a deep focus on keeping complex, mission-critical infrastructure running reliably around the clock. My work sits at the intersection of hands-on network engineering and operational leadership — handling the technical challenges while building and guiding the teams that manage them.

My background spans network configuration, monitoring system design, and the operational discipline required for 24/7 environments. I care about clear escalation paths, tight runbooks, and teams that know exactly what to do when things go wrong.

Outside of operations, I'm actively working toward penetration testing — both network-based and physical security assessments. Years of managing infrastructure from the defender's side has built a strong foundation for understanding how systems get compromised, and I'm focused on developing the offensive skillset to match.
