Experience

1. System Security Engineer

   Dell Technologies

   Jun 2011 — Present · Round Rock, TX, US

   Support the modernizing of the demo site infrastructure and promote scalable and efficient solutions. I manage the platform, including web servers, SQL database, and automation design. I act as the subject matter expert and main point-of-contact for development security operations and stay current with the latest tools, methods, and technologies to mitigate risks. Architecture & Design Impact Led migration from SharePoint to VMware Orchestrator. No one on the team had experience with VMware Orchestrator, so I took the lead to learn and implement this solution to scale Dell’s demo center. Security & Threat Identification Worked with external teams to conduct security assessments and reducing external vulnerabilities. Integrated GitLab security pipeline scans into development process, enhancing the automated detection of vulnerabilities during the code lifecycle. Automation & Scripting Impact Designed, wrote, and implemented PowerShell scripts to optimize the demo lab build process with an enterprise storage solution and to deploy on-premise servers via Azure. Supported several total database migrations and rewrote all SQL database scripts from scratch ensuring no lost data in the process. Leadership Impact Led cross-functional team members at the in-person demo lab at Dell Technologies World annual convention. Led the entire build process, including development, imaging, coordination, setup, and support for 120+ demo workstations while providing help desk support to troubleshoot VMware workstation issues. Interview, evaluate, and aid the selection of new cloud vendors. Act as the main point of contact for surveys, remote control, and third-party vendors.
