I’m a DevSecOps Engineer and Technical Lead with 15+ years of experience designing, automating, and securing infrastructure across classified and unclassified defense environments.My work centers on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipeline automation, and hybrid infrastructure design, leveraging GitLab CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform, and VMware. I have a strong foundation in on-prem VMware automation, along with hands-on experience building automation for cloud-based deployments in AWS and Azure.In my current role, I lead a team of DevSecOps engineers, driving consistency in automation practices, infrastructure security, and toolchain management. I also engineer and maintain Everfox-based Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) and Trusted Thin Client (TTC) implementations that support secure data flows between unclassified and classified domains.I’m passionate about building secure, automated systems that make infrastructure delivery faster, more reliable, and compliant with NIST, RMF, and STIG standards.Always open to sharing knowledge and connecting with others working in DevSecOps, infrastructure automation, and secure systems engineering.
