Secure Sense Solutions

• Chief Security Architect/CIO

  • Feb 2012 - Dec 2022

  I am the chief architect in secure network design and implementation at SecureSense Solutions, providing either end to end solutions in collaboration with colleges on large accounts, or providing reviews and sanity checks for some of the smaller companies. A lot of my time is also spent breaking the security of those same companies before someone else can, with the goal of finding weaknesses in network designs, configurations, and web application code. This information has allowed us to provide unique and strong solutions custom tailored to client environments, in high security deployments without sacrificing performance. Show less
