Security built in,
not bolted on.
Hands-on network security, Linux hardening, cloud operations, and identity management — designed, deployed, and documented for organizations that need it done right.
Five focused areas.
All connected.
Network security, Linux hardening, cloud ops, IAM, and infrastructure as code — built to work together and deployed to last.
Network Security
Cisco routing and switching, firewall configuration, VLAN segmentation, VPN, and secure network architecture — built right or cleaned up from what’s there.
Linux & Systems Security
Red Hat and Linux system hardening, secure configuration baselines, service lockdown, and ongoing security controls for servers and infrastructure hosts.
Cloud Security & Operations
AWS and Azure security architecture, access control configuration, cloud security posture review, and operational security for teams running workloads in the cloud.
Identity & Access Management
Okta administration, IAM policy design, SSO and MFA implementation, zero trust access controls — who gets in, what they can touch, and how it stays that way.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform and OpenTofu for repeatable, auditable infrastructure deployments. Kubernetes for container orchestration. Secure by default, documented throughout.
Straightforward help
from someone who
actually explains things.
I hold a master’s degree in cybersecurity with hands-on focus in network security, Linux and systems hardening, cloud operations, and identity management. NAXS Labs is my practice — built around working directly with clients, not handing you off to someone else.
I work in the infrastructure layer — the routers, the servers, the cloud accounts, the identity providers. The things that, when they’re misconfigured, become the breach. I help you get them right and keep them that way.
How I approach every engagement
- Listen first — understand your environment and priorities before recommending anything.
- Explain findings in plain language — no alphabet soup unless you want it.
- Prioritize practical improvements you can actually implement.
- Document everything so you’re not dependent on me forever.
- Be honest about what I know and what I’ll find out — no inflated credentials.
