Cyber Resiliency
Recovery architecture, dependency analysis, evidence collection, controls, and executive reporting.
I build resilient systems—from silicon to the data center.
Senior Vice President and Senior Architect focused on cyber resiliency, data center recovery, embedded systems, AI infrastructure, and practical automation for environments where availability, evidence, and recovery matter.
- Regulator-facing cyber resiliency and business continuity architecture
- Splunk, Python, C#, SQL, and evidence-driven recovery analytics
- Hands-on ESP32, Matter, LoRa, secure networking, and local AI infrastructure
