Assistant Professor Computer Technology
About
I have worked in cybersecurity since 2003, where my primary focus has been on security
                        operations, and network security. I am an advocate for the use of open source security
                        tools and operating systems for threat detection and response. Working as a consultant,
                        I have fully deployed network security tools and enterprise log solutions at a number
                        of federal agencies in support of their security operations. At Harford, I teach introduction.
