Biography

I am a Solutions Architect and Network Analyst with over 14 years of experience in network engineering, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise IT transformation. Currently, I work at Merced College (MCCD) as a Network Analyst, where I lead efforts to secure and modernize campus network and cloud systems. My professional background includes designing and deploying scalable solutions across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenStack, as well as expertise in SDN, NFVI, and Infrastructure-as-Code using tools like Terraform and Ansible.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, along with certifications including AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, and CCNA. My interests span cloud security, hybrid infrastructure, automation, and enabling digital innovation within higher education environments.

As part of the EDUCAUSE community, I’m eager to contribute to conversations around IT strategy, security best practices, and cloud adoption in higher ed institutions.
