This multifaceted role requires a unique blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and global adaptability.My responsibilities span across critical IT domains, including managing and securing physical infrastructure (cabling, fiber, LAN/WAN circuitry), overseeing local and regional radio systems, and ensuring the physical security of sensitive data and equipment. I support end users by aligning IT solutions with mission needs, administering cloud-based filing systems, and enhancing cybersecurity across multiple classified and unclassified networks.In addition to technical operations, I lead initiatives in asset management, local employee supervision, project management, and crisis response, building cohesive teams under high-pressure, often high-stakes, international environments.
