I want to help identify and resolve the most challenging technical problems facing government agencies, contractors, and information technology departments.

I have over 25 years of industry experience in information technology design, implementation, and support. I am now the Chief Technology Officer of H3T, LLC, a technology consultancy based in Orlando, Florida.

I am a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and CyberAB Registered Practitioner. I have begun training for the Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) and expect certification shortly. This qualifies me to assist companies in meeting Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standards to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) and federal contract information (FCI) in the Department of Defence (DoD) supply chain.

My greatest strength is troubleshooting complex operating systems, software, and network issues. I have been using Linux and other Open Source since 1993 and have regularly deployed and maintained Microsoft products and commercial Unix systems throughout my career. Other key strengths include leadership and support for software development operations by deploying and managing software version control, feature/issue tracking, and automating software builds.

I hold a current Secret security clearance.

Rhodes+Brito Architects
2019 – 2024
Project Coordinator III / Energy Coordinator

Provided IT support, project coordination, and utility billing for the Technical Range Architecture Engineering Services (TRACES) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. I assisted with the CMMC evaluation process for the company’s multiple locations. I used a systems engineering approach to update the utility billing process to reduce the complexity and time spent performing monthly billing. The process involved over 50 monthly invoices, 800 meter reads from manual and automated sources, and 20 utility reports. After collecting the data, it had to be processed for reporting to the Finance Manager, the Energy Manager, and the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC). This process involved creating advanced Excel spreadsheets, custom scripts, and detailed documentation.

2013 – 2015
Chief Scientist

Performed research and development for critical features in company product lines and documented research in formal white papers. I worked with corporate technical teams to evaluate and resolve issues impeding the development and release of several products. Wrote plain language reports for upper management to characterize the technical problems and priorities in the product development teams. This led to faster development and better quality products while managing expectations with management.

IDEAL Technology Corporation
2001 – 2013
Chief Technology Officer

I provided consulting services, product development, and engineering expertise to grow the business until it was acquired by KEYW Corporation in 2013. In 2002, I wrote a funded research study for PEO STRI valued at $300K. During 2003-2006, I provided networking support for the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee plenary and interim sessions. In 2006, we were awarded a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract to develop a field-portable digital forensic system called STRIKE. I was the principal designer and led the development team for STRIKE. Jacobs Engineering is still selling this product.
