🛡 I’m a cybersecurity architect, Marine Corps veteran, and startup founder with a passion for building secure, scalable systems that empower organizations to thrive in the digital age. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across both government and enterprise sectors—designing Zero Trust architectures, leading modernization efforts, and advising companies on how to embed security into their infrastructure from the ground up. ⚙️ I’ve led technology strategy and execution at high-growth firms and am currently the CEO of Aetheron Corporation, where we’re building decentralized security platforms that protect data, establish provenance, and bring advanced cryptographic solutions to market. I also serve as Director of Technology at BairesDev, helping global clients scale engineering teams and deliver complex solutions efficiently. My specialties include secure cloud architecture, DevSecOps, Zero Trust implementation, blockchain-based access control, and AI-assisted governance. I’m especially interested in bridging theoretical cybersecurity frameworks with practical, high-impact products—particularly in high-risk or highly-regulated environments. 🌐 Current: CEO of Aetheron, building next-gen decentralized security solutions for enterprises and governments. ⸻ Strengths • Zero Trust Security • Cloud & Infrastructure Security • Decentralized Identity & Data Provenance • DevSecOps Strategy • Cybersecurity for Regulated Environments • Leadership in Technical Organizations • Startup Architecture & Scale I’m here to help teams design secure systems, solve strategic technical challenges, and align cybersecurity with long-term business outcomes. Whether you’re scaling a startup, securing sensitive data, or modernizing your infrastructure—I’m ready to dive in.
