The Beginning
My curiosity for coding and computers began when I was 8 years old. I discovered the children’s website, NeoPets and wanted to have the prettiest layouts for my page. I would be on W3Schools for hours learning basic HTML code. This continued on through the ages of Myspace, and Tumblr.
Eventually the fascination evolved into a competitive hobby. I joined my school’s robotics team. Robotics wasn’t enough for me, so a few great mentors helped me start a Cyber Patriot team my senior year. My commitment to technology was cemented in 2013 after my team placed 3rd in Florida (out of 18).
Information Assurance
I began interning at Raydon in 2013 as an Information Assurance intern. I got hired on full time as an Information Assurance Analyst. My roles include:
– Securing Windows and Linux Operating Systems.
– Scanning and analyzing vulnerabilities.
– Configuring DoD compliant security policies, group policies, and settings.
– Keeping systems patched and updated.
– Automated deployment scripts of policies and patches.
-Curation of IA policy documentation.
-Coordination with Software and DevOps to roll out product releases that meet ATO criteria.
SharePoint Development
In 2015 I took on a new role at the same company as a SharePoint Developer. This role consisted of many tasks not isolated to SharePoint Development. My day to day work consisted of:
– Management of the company’s SharePoint Infrastructure.
– Automation of departmental processes via Microsoft Flow, Power Automate, InfoPath, and Nintex.
– Maintenance of PowerBi dashboards.
– Backend maintenance of our company’s website.
– Coordinating the training, implementation, and testing of new o365 features.
