About Me
An experienced IT/OT engineer leading dozens of customers through full-scale projects from auditing, consulting, designing and configuring critical network infrastructure across a variety of manufacturing industries.
My Creative Journey
Network Consultation & Design
My consultation experience focuses on translating operational needs and customer requirements into reliable network architectures that prioritize uptime, performance, and long-term scalability. Whether it be outdated systems, new builds or achieving complex hurdles I am confident it will be solved from start to build.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Strong infrastructure is built on internationally recognized standards and security frameworks. The foundation of these frameworks ensure that our manufacturing industry remains resilient and safe in an ever changing security landscape. Understanding these standards, across many industries have provided a useful baseline in developing recommendations to customers. Auditing and Assessments play a huge role in identifying gaps and the functional requirements for a customer.
IT/OT Convergence
Our industrial world sits at the intersection of enterprise IT and operational technology. Often times we see clients blending the two for a multitude of reasons. Effectively bridging these domains requires balanced security and proper segmentation ensuring production-critical systems remain secure. Comprehending the importance of IT/OT segmentation is vital in realizing the two can co-exist, often sharing commonalities but lacking the proper methods to protect their respective respources.
Custom Solutions for Complex Architecture
What I've learned: There is often times never one single best answer. A design is always centered around what's most applicable to the customer and how their needs and priorities best align. I've constructed network designs that integrate legacy systems, redundant or highly available resources and cutting-edge hardware into a cohesive and supportable system. The unpredictability is what makes this type of work fun allowing creativeness in creating these solutions for users.
Diverse Industry Experience
Exposure to multiple industries brings perspective. Experience across aerospace, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, packaged goods, food & beverage, and discrete manufacturing highlights how different operational requirements shape the technical outcome. Being well-versed in these industries makes it easier to provide recommendations based on first-hand experience.
