Available for consulting
& contract work

Providence/Boston area and remote.

Network Security

Segmentation, firewall policy, access controls, and VLAN configuration. A flat network is a liability — I help fix that.

Identity & Access Management

Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and AWS IAM — SSO, lifecycle management, Conditional Access, and least-privilege policy.

Cloud Security

AWS architecture, infrastructure as code, and defensive security controls built into the deployment — not bolted on after.

Device Hardening

Endpoint configuration review and hardening — removing unnecessary services, closing attack surface, tightening defaults.

Security Assessments

A clear, prioritized picture of your risk across network, devices, and access controls. No jargon, no filler.

Ongoing Advisory

A consistent technical resource as your environment changes — without hiring a full-time staff member.

Defensive Systems
Engineer

Independent consultant operating under NAXS Labs LLC. I work across network security, cloud infrastructure, and identity — treating them as one discipline rather than three separate specialties.
