Where cybersecurity meets process control

I work at the intersection of information technology and operational technology — the increasingly critical space where enterprise networks meet the control systems that run industrial processes.

As part of an automation control systems integrator, I specialize in securing OT environments while also architecting the virtualization infrastructure that modern DCS platforms depend on. My day-to-day spans cybersecurity assessments, DeltaV system upgrades, Hyper-V deployments, and everything in between.

I believe that strong OT security doesn't mean slowing operations down — it means designing systems that are resilient, segmented, and maintainable from day one.
