Summary of Experience

In my previous role as a Senior Sales Engineer at IBM, I developed and presented technical marketing resources, strategic plans, and demos for the QRadar Suite of security products. With over fifteen (15) years of experience in cybersecurity, I specialize in SIEM, SOAR, MDR, TDR, XDR, Threat Management, SASE, and Firewalling. I am also a U.S. Army veteran with multiple Dell, VMware, Palo Alto Networks, and WatchGuard certifications.

My mission is to help businesses evolve from a lack of security posture to leading with security by educating and empowering them with the best security solutions. I enjoy working on complex and challenging projects where I can leverage my skills and expertise to deliver value and customer satisfaction. I am a trusted advisor who is always learning and improving and driven by the passion to win and the desire to make a positive impact.

Subject Matter Expert

SIEM

Security information and event management (SIEM) technology supports threat detection, compliance and security incident management through the collection and analysis (both near real time and historical) of security events, as well as a wide variety of other event and contextual data sources. The core capabilities are a broad scope of log event collection and management, the ability to analyze log events and other data across disparate sources, and operational capabilities (such as incident management, dashboards and reporting).
