I. Am a fledgling information security professional with an extensive background in systems engineering, technical support, and quality assurance testing. I have a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Information Assurance with CISSP and Security+ certifications. I have worked in the telecommunications sector for over 14 years with experience in Sales, Marketing, and Engineering environments. Many of my skills were gained from practical applications of engineering and penetration testing the sandbox environments available at Regis University as well as development and implementation of cyber competition information system infrastructure (CANVAS 2011 and RMCCDC 2012). My interests include information security research with respect to web applications and malware analysis. Information security has become a broad field and I often find it difficult to focus on a specialization. Right now my skillset is centered around secure IS design with an aptitude towards penetration testing.
