I'm a first-generation American whose parents fled their home country in 1970 after supporting the United States CIA during the Vietnam War. They arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs and an unwavering dream of a better life. Their resilience in the face of adversity instilled in me the core values of hard work, perseverance, and adaptability—principles that drive my approach to cybersecurity today.
As a cybersecurity professional, I bring proven leadership experience in building high-performing teams that deliver measurable security outcomes in fast-paced environments. My technical expertise spans tools like Splunk, Nessus, Nmap, and Linux, developed through rigorous hands-on training, laboratory work, and comprehensive documentation projects. I hold multiple industry certifications including CompTIA Security+, Network+, A+, Security Blue Team Level 1, Linux Essentials, and GRC Mastery, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and technical excellence.
What sets me apart is my unique blend of technical depth, leadership capability, compliance knowledge, and consulting experience. I understand that effective cybersecurity requires mastery across people, processes, and technology. Whether conducting attack simulations like my "Credential-to-Controller" research or implementing enterprise security controls, I approach challenges with both strategic vision and hands-on technical skill, enabling me to protect organizations against today's evolving threat landscape.
