While proficient in many technologies, one thing is true, there is always more to learn. My experience includes: Amazon Web Services Azure/365 Converged Infrastructure CRM Data Warehousing Cisco Viptela (SDWAN) Cisco Networking Cisco Meraki HP Networking IBM OS/400 Linux Radius MFA/2FA Technologies MS Server SSO System/Service Lifecycle Virtual Tape Libraries VMware https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffb7e835a6fae169d951bcc/1610334847081-EUJP3GIO5T8M8PRHHMHO/Info-security-vs-IT-security.png About - Information Security Clearly one of the largest growing areas of technology is information security or Cyber Security. My experience in Cyber Security is broad covering roles such as analysts, audit and Incident Response .

During this time priorities and projects were adjusted to meet needs of the organizations I work with but still ended the year successful in scheduled projects and Service Level Agreements. As such in my career I have experienced recessions, pandemics and have had to rebuild teams where necessary. In this process I focus not only on a candidates technical knowledge but their willingness to learn, empathy to situations and of course their personality. Doing so allows the organization to achieve the best possible dynamics within the team and the organization. My experience includes: Managing and helping staff establish and meet goals. Hiring and termination of employees. Employee Retention. Presenting material/information to Executive Leadership and applicable committees. Strategic planning. Department Strategic planning. Project Management Budgeting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffb7e835a6fae169d951bcc/1610337129425-XSUJU2LQKYPCBN68RZ8J/digital-banking-newsite.jpg About - Financial Services I have worked in financial services for a majority of my career.
