Security Architecture
Defensible foundations
Zero Trust architecture, secure design patterns, governance alignment, detection workflows, vulnerability management, and operating models for complex enterprise and mission environments.
Principal Enterprise Architect
Enterprise architecture for secure cloud, identity, and AI-enabled cyber operations.
Principal Enterprise Architect with experience designing secure infrastructure, AWS GovCloud and hybrid-cloud environments, federated identity telemetry, detection workflows, and AI-enabled cyber operations for enterprise and mission environments.
Architecture Areas
Secure architecture across infrastructure, cloud, identity, and applied AI.
Cloud Platforms
Mission-ready cloud
AWS GovCloud and hybrid-cloud foundations, mission data pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, continuity planning, and secure software-factory foundations for internal development and rapid prototyping.
Identity Telemetry
Federated visibility
M365 and Entra ID telemetry correlation, authentication and audit analysis, ephemeral access, and models that improve visibility into identity behavior across federated environments.
Applied AI
Operationally grounded AI
LLM-assisted identity risk profiling, agentic workflows, prototype environments, and research that connects model capability to cyber operations constraints.
Selected Work
Selected architecture and engineering work.
Secure infrastructure modernization
Designed and implemented Zero Trust-oriented network and infrastructure architecture for enterprise facilities and internal operations, connecting policy, physical infrastructure, network controls, identity, monitoring, and operational support into defensible architecture patterns.
Ephemeral access engineering
Developed a region-aware ephemeral VPN architecture using AWS, Python, WireGuard, and event-driven containerized components to provide controlled, short-lived remote access across dynamic environments.
Detection analytics and telemetry
Engineered centralized analytics workflows aggregating Microsoft Defender telemetry from 1,000+ endpoints, improving threat intelligence, detection automation, and signal quality across enterprise security operations.
Federated identity correlation
Built distributed approaches for correlating authentication and audit activity across federated M365 and Entra ID tenants, enabling MLOps pipelines and LLM-assisted identity risk profiling at scale.
Secure cloud and mission systems
Architected AWS GovCloud and hybrid-cloud environments for mission data pipelines, terabyte-scale datasets, distributed AI/ML workloads, continuity planning, and secure platform operations.
Agentic AI and cyber operations
Led technical development, prototyping, and productization efforts around agentic AI for offensive and defensive cyber operations, connecting hands-on experimentation, technical research, and public speaking.
