About Deante Washington
U.S. Army veteran turned cybersecurity and network professional. I build resilient, secure infrastructures for organizations by combining hands-on systems engineering with practical threat intelligence. I’m the founder of ShadowGrid Solutions — mission: Design. Defend. Disrupt. — where I help SMBs, VIPs, and public-sector teams strengthen their cloud and network defenses. Visit: https://theshadowgrid.comIn my day-to-day role as a Network & Systems Administrator at Thompson Thrift, I manage and troubleshoot networking and server environments, maintain AWS and Azure resources, design secure architectures, and lead technical investigations when incidents arise. My work focuses on reliable operations first, then layered security: network segmentation, IAM hardening, monitoring/alerting, and rapid incident containment.I’m passionate about continuous learning — I research attacker techniques and threat actor behavior so I can translate that knowledge into stronger defensive controls and practical guidance for clients. If you want to talk secure cloud design, incident response, or family-focused cyber hygiene, let’s connect.
