I’m a DevSecOps engineer and cloud security practitioner who builds secure, automated infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes environments. Most of my work lives at the boundary between cloud engineering and security, where I focus on identity, hardened CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps-driven deployments. I enjoy building systems that others can use, learn from, and extend, especially when they help people feel more capable and less intimidated by complex tooling.
I design and secure cloud-native infrastructure using Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS/Azure services. My work centers on identity modernization, GitOps workflows, and embedding security controls into existing SDLC pipelines.
I build and test industrial control system environments using PLCs, Arduino Opta hardware, Modbus/TCP, and custom HMI tooling. My projects aim to make OT environments more transparent, testable, and defensible.
I am currently a student at CodeYou, learning C#. I'm developing several C# tools that support penetration testing workflows, reporting, and time management as part of my software engineering program.
My homelab includes a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster, Gitea, GitHub Actions runners, Portainer, and multiple ICS test rigs (my spouse doesn't love all these gadgets laying about). Many of the repositories here originate directly from these experiments.
Cloud and Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker
Automation and IaC: Terraform, Ansible, GitOps, GitHub Actions
Security and Networking: Nmap, Wireshark, tcpdump, iptables, nftables, Nessus, Security Onion
ICS/OT:: Modbus/TCP, PLC programming (Arduino Opta, Click PLC), ICS network analysis
Programming: C#, Python, Bash, PowerShell, HCL, YAML, JSON
Lead IAM Identity Center modernization, embed security tooling in CI/CD, harden GitOps workflows, and support AWS-native security guardrails while working directly with the CISO on incident response and security improvements.
Develop Helm charts, GitHub Actions pipelines, Kubernetes network policies, and observability tooling while supporting secure deployments across air‑gapped environments.
Conduct network defense, ICS/OT analysis, lab development, mentoring and supporting cyber operations for critical infrastructure scenarios.
Help organizations prepare for FedRAMP and cloud compliance through architecture design, documentation, scanning, and security engineering.

- Blazor WebAssembly site hosted via GitHub Pages, backed by a structured
benefits.jsondataset. - Provides searchable, tag-filtered benefits, discounts, and resources for service members, veterans, and families.
- Community contributions flow through GitHub Issues and auto-generated pull requests, plus scheduled link checking via GitHub Actions.
- Resume template that pulls live Credly certifications via a .NET 9 minimal API and CLI, then renders them into a Jekyll site.
- Ships with a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the API/CLI, generates normalized badge JSON, and publishes the site to GitHub Pages or a custom domain.
- Designed to be forked and customized so others can quickly stand up their own resume + badges site.
If you enjoy anything here, feel free to explore the repositories. Many are active experiments from my homelab, C# coursework, and ICS/OT projects.
