About Me
Get to know me better
I'm a cybersecurity consultant and systems architect with more than 25 years of experience across IT, telecommunications, and automation. My background spans everything from network engineering and VoIP development to advanced cybersecurity and AI-driven automation.
My Approach: I focus on creating secure, efficient, and scalable systems. Whether building network infrastructures, securing environments, or integrating AI into daily workflows, I aim to simplify complexity and strengthen reliability.
What I Do: I design and implement cybersecurity strategies, cloud and on-prem infrastructures, and automation systems. My tools include Check Point, Nutanix, VMware, Proxmox, n8n, and AI integrations through Twilio and custom APIs. I also manage VoIP systems and automation workflows that bridge data, AI, and communication platforms.
When I'm not working on automation or security systems, I explore new AI tools, refine network architectures, and consult on scalable IT solutions for growing organizations.
