20 years securing critical infrastructure, managing enterprise networks, and building resilient systems. Navy Veteran turned Systems Engineer with zero tolerance for security incidents.
From submarines to servers, building secure systems that matter
Hey there! I'm Matt, a systems engineer who spent two decades in the Navy before transitioning to civilian tech. I've secured everything from submarine networks to enterprise cloud infrastructure.
My superpower? Taking complex security requirements and translating them into rock-solid implementations. Whether it's COMSEC management, STIG compliance, or standing up virtualized environments, I've done it at scale with zero incidents.
Currently diving deep into the cloud-native world, learning Kubernetes, Ansible, and Terraform. When I'm not configuring switches or hardening systems, you'll find me experimenting with air fryer recipes or helping friends troubleshoot their tech.
Building secure systems across military and civilian sectors
Engineering and securing submarine network subsystems for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. Managing virtualized Windows domains and implementing security updates across critical infrastructure.
Led communications security and network operations across multiple commands. Managed three large COMSEC accounts with zero security incidents over 20 years.
Tools and technologies I work with daily
Building and learning in public
Building a personal Kubernetes cluster to master cloud-native technologies. Deploying applications with Helm, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and learning infrastructure as code with Terraform and Ansible.
Collection of automation scripts for common network administration tasks. Automating Cisco switch configurations, backup routines, and compliance checks to reduce manual work and human error.
Looking for a systems engineer who takes security seriously? Need help with network infrastructure or compliance challenges? Or just want to talk tech? I'd love to hear from you.
