The 811X Garden Care App

With a passion for leading and managing teams, I have over 38 years of experience in electronics, information technology, and cybersecurity. I am in a Doctoral Program at the University of the Potomac, working on a Doctoral degree in Computer Science (ABD). I also have a Master of Applied Science in Cybersecurity and several other degrees and certifications in related fields. I have also contributed to 14 US patents in fiber optic, Data Storage, Protocol Analysis, and alarm connectivity systems.

I have taught classes in:
1) Network Security and Design
2) Advanced Persistent Threat Hacking and Countermeasures
3) Cloud Computing from the Ground Up
4) MySQL Database Development
5) Cybersecurity and Homeland Security
6) Protection of Intellectual Property
7) Forensic Data Retrieval Techniques
8) Computer Forensics and Investigation
9) Ethical Hacking
10) Computer and Data Networking
11) Network Defense and Countermeasures
12) Development of SH, BASH, PYTHON, and TCL Scripts for Cyber Security Education

My mission is to empower our society by designing experiences that are equitable and enjoyable. I thrive on cultural diversity as a catalyst for growth and enjoy collaborating with others. The "emerging" and "alternative" spheres of society excite me just as much as the analytical ones. My work spans between UX, growth, product, brand, and research. Ultimately, I would like to drive positive change for under-resourced communities through thoughtful and inclusive projects.
