Mission Impact

Operational outcomes worth scanning first.

$1.3B

enterprise terrain monitored through live cyber dashboards and tracking workflows.

5 to 2 days

threat-resolution cycle reduction after dashboard and tracking-tool engineering.

21 to 5 days

urgent change execution improvement during combat-readiness exercise support.

600+

concurrent players supported on Linux-hosted game infrastructure and community systems.

Positioning

Where the portfolio is pointed.

AI Infrastructure / Reliability

Model-serving gateways, inference benchmarks, latency percentiles, Prometheus artifacts, regression checks, and Kubernetes-oriented deployment patterns.

Infrastructure Security

Authenticated service boundaries, RBAC, policy enforcement, audit evidence, rate limits, threat models, incident runbooks, and secure AI workload controls.

Forward-Deployed Mission Engineering

Cleared operational context, stakeholder translation, full-stack prototypes, observable systems, and decision surfaces that help users act under uncertainty.

Role Fit

Current market signal mapped to shipped work.

Frontier AI Infrastructure

Triton-style benchmarking, latency and throughput reporting, failure accounting, Prometheus export, and cluster-run job shapes.

AI Security Platform

Secure GPU inference gateway with model authorization, reason-for-access checks, policy denials, rate limits, audit logs, metrics, SLOs, and runbooks.

Forward-Deployed AI / Gov

TS/SCI mission context, operational workflow design, root-cause analysis, what-if planning, observable delivery, and public-safe data discipline.

Quant / Systems Path

Deterministic matching, order-book mechanics, benchmarkable execution, Linux fundamentals, and an explicit C++/Rust implementation roadmap.

Experience

Cyber defense operations with measurable enterprise impact.

2023 - Present United States Air Force

ACC Communications Support Squadron | Joint Base Langley-Eustis, VA

Cyber Defense Operations Specialist / Mission Assurance Technician / SolarWinds Support Technician

  • Support ACC MAJCOM enterprise cyber operations in an 11-member team delivering 24/7 cyber command-and-control and tier-1 support to 26 wings across 13 CONUS bases, affecting 27K users.
  • Engineered a cyber tracking tool that fused 216K data points into 4 live dashboards for a $1.3B enterprise environment, reducing threat resolution time from 5 days to 2.
  • Led 11 Airmen across 18 AFCYBER tasking orders, hardening 5 vulnerable sites and 30K assets while supporting C4ISR readiness for 1.3K units across 262 locations.
  • Formed a four-unit response team to detect, isolate, and contain a high-risk system anomaly, then helped shape updated cyber threat SOPs.
  • Coordinated a three-agency inspection response, guiding 4 SMEs through 16 incident resolutions and helping secure the base's first successful cyber inspection rating in 9 years.
  • Re-aligned a $1M modernization effort and synchronized 6 teams to field a network access control platform validating 16K users.
  • Deployed SolarWinds Observability servers to ACC bases, identified rollout blockers, restored data paths, and strengthened enterprise situational awareness.
  • Expedited 5 urgent change requests, shrinking execution from 21 days to 5 for a combat-readiness exercise supporting 10K warfighters and 409 tons of cargo.
  • Authored a behavioral analytic for cyber risk and trained 14 squadrons to detect foreign-language anomalies across a $1.5B domain.
  • Completed 180 hours of cyber and industry best-practice development, overhauled 3 SOPs, reduced system configuration time by 2 hours, and contributed to remediation of 486 exploits.
Ongoing Independent Technical Projects

Remote

Developer / Systems Builder

  • Build public-safe AI infrastructure and mission-software projects across FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes-oriented deployment patterns, metrics, tests, policy controls, benchmarks, and runbooks.
  • Build deterministic market-systems work around order-book mechanics, price-time priority, latency measurement, correctness tests, and a planned C++20/Rust implementation path.
  • Administer Linux-hosted game server infrastructure using Java, Python, SQL, SSH operations, observability, permissions systems, and performance profiling for a 600+ member community.
