About Jason Pongonis
I am a seasoned Systems Administrator with 14+ years of experience in mission-critical IT environments across defense, federal contracting, and enterprise support sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for system auditing and vulnerability mitigation, as well as for designing automation scripts and securing IT infrastructure, I have a verifiable history of strengthening cybersecurity posture and operational continuity throughout my career. As such, I have consistently enhanced compliance, improved system reliability, and delivered measurable gains in efficiency across both classified and unclassified domains. Professional focal points include system hardening, STIG and RMF compliance, Tier 1–2 support, virtualization (VMware/Citrix), network configuration, and PowerShell scripting. Delivering superior administration across these domains requires effective communication, analytical thinking, cybersecurity acumen, and hands-on systems management to support secure, high-performing IT environments.Colleagues describe me as a reliable, proactive, and detail-driven professional who consistently delivers technical solutions aligned to organizational goals. I am interested in reconnecting with former colleagues and expanding my network with other professionals in IT operations and cybersecurity. Feel free to reach out through this profile if you’d like to connect.
