About John Jimenez

I’m a Biomedical Equipment Technician with growing experience in diagnostic imaging systems and medical device cybersecurity, focusing on the security and operational challenges that come with modern Med-IoT and network-connected imaging technologies.My background provides a practical understanding of how clinical and imaging devices operate in real environments — how they connect, how they fail, and how both technical and security issues can impact patient care and hospital operations.I’ve supported a wide range of medical equipment through preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs, and I’m comfortable working in environments where safety, uptime, and accuracy are critical. My experience also includes exposure to diagnostic imaging technologies such as X-ray systems, and I continue to build my knowledge in imaging platforms, system architecture, and the technical workflows that support radiology departments.Over time, I’ve become the person teams rely on when something unfamiliar breaks or when a device behaves in a way that doesn’t make sense. I enjoy figuring things out, asking the right questions, and bridging gaps between clinical engineering, imaging teams, IT, and cybersecurity stakeholders.I hold CBET, Security+ CE, and RSTI X-ray Phase 1, and I maintain a current Top-Secret clearance (Tier 5, 2024). These experiences have pushed me toward the intersection of diagnostic imaging service and medical device cybersecurity, especially as imaging platforms become increasingly connected and integrated into hospital networks.I’m actively building skills in areas such as:• imaging system fundamentals• medical device hardening and vulnerability awareness• secure configuration of network-connected devices• operational reliability of diagnostic systemsMy 20+ years of combined military and civilian experience shaped how I work: mission-focused, steady under pressure, and accountable. I communicate clearly, adapt quickly, and take pride in being reliable — whether supporting bedside equipment, assisting with imaging systems, or learning the security considerations behind complex medical technologies.I’m continuing to grow in the direction of diagnostic imaging service engineering and medical device cybersecurity, with a long-term interest in supporting healthcare systems, federal environments, and organizations working to secure and maintain advanced diagnostic technologies.I may not know everything on day one, but I learn fast, stay curious, and bring a hands-on mindset that fits well in this evolving field.
