Security Operations Center Analyst
SOC analyst protecting federal infrastructure at Edgewater Federal Solutions. I deploy endpoint security tools, build detection rules, and monitor networks across a DOE environment in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
I started in IT support — imaging workstations, troubleshooting hardware, and walking users through problems. That hands-on foundation taught me how systems break and how to keep them running. Today I work in a security operations center defending federal infrastructure, deploying zero trust frameworks to IoT devices, authoring detection rules in Elastic, and administering endpoint protection across CrowdStrike and Cortex XDR.
I also own Tracivex which is a early stage software development bussiness. Outside of work I spend my time on threat hunting, network forensics, and staying ahead of whatever the industry throws at us next.
