U.S. Army veteran turned Cyber Security Architect with 30+ years in enterprise IT, currently focused on CMMC Level 2 compliance, Ansible Automation Platform, and end-to-end Configuration-as-Code in regulated environments.
I automate everything I touch β from bare-metal provisioning through OS hardening, application deployment, and continuous compliance scanning. My home lab runs an enterprise-grade stack (RHEL, AAP 2.6, Satellite, IdM with cross-realm AD trust, rootless Podman with DoD Iron Bank images) as a proof-of-concept environment for defense-sector tooling.
When I'm not building, I'm usually scuba diving or fishing.
Open to conversations on automation, CMMC implementation, Zero Trust architecture, and the joys of running enterprise stacks in the basement. π
