Background and Industry Experience

About Me:

I have worked in the IT space after graduating with Computer Engineering BS and a minor in German, since the previous century from being on IT emergency “pager duty” during Y2K to the present. My intent is to bring these teachable techniques to CIAT that I gained from being in the IT space as a whole and specifically within the Information security / cybersecurity sector, where I currently work within.

Industry Experience: Previously taught digital marketing classes as San Diego State University and presented at conferences throughout the country explaining somewhat technical material in a hopefully relatable and actionable way, as well working directly with Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Vanguard, Samsung, among others. Certifications/Degrees: Computer Engineering – BS German – Minor PMP – Project Management Professional certification Security+ certification CASP+ – CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner certification
