About Anthony Trang

I’m an IT professional who thrives where physical infrastructure meets digital defense. My journey began in municipal IT, grew through enterprise network roles, and now expands into securing critical infrastructure—protecting liquid nitrogen and energy plants, overseeing industrial intrusion systems, and guiding physical access control compliance with U.S. Coast Guard standards.Throughout my career, I’ve been the person teams call when something needs to be built, secured, or scaled—from firewalls to fiber optics. Whether working on GPON/XGS network design for rural electric co-ops or deploying SCADA and access control systems across highly regulated sites, I bring a hands-on approach and deep technical insight to every challenge.What sets me apart is my ability to balance high-level systems thinking with practical, on-the-ground implementation. I’ve led full system conversions for access control (65+ boards), guided secure Azure firewall integrations, and mentored junior engineers in both virtual and physical security concepts. My drive to protect mission-critical operations while optimizing network performance has allowed me to take on versatile roles where “jack-of-all-trades” is a badge of honor.Now, I’m transitioning more directly into cybersecurity and network security engineering—focused on safeguarding systems, assets, and data in high-stakes environments. With CISSP certification in progress and a foundation in access control, SCADA, and secure virtualization, I’m ready to bring my cross-functional skills to new challenges.Let’s connect if you’re looking for someone who understands security from the ground up and can bring clarity, continuity, and confidence to your IT and security landscape.Professional Highlights Converted legacy access boards to Honeywell Access Control, securing additional project work at their security system. Designed scalable networks across CAT6, Wi-Fi, and fiber optics, supporting high-demand industrial operations. Built secure firewall communication with Azure to meet CISP requirements for an international partner. Deployed Calix-based systems for rural broadband clients, supporting 13K+ users with secure, reliable service. Guided network security planning using FBI/DHS threat intelligence in public sector and private energy environments. Mentored new hires on physical access systems, PCI best practices, and networking principles.
