• Reviews existing network security architecture, identifies gaps, and designs the remediation, including hands on work to resolve technical debt in legacy configurations.
• Assesses, scopes, and estimates the work and hours required to deliver security architecture components of larger projects and programs.
• Serves as the technical expert and trusted advisor to engineering, IT, and business partners on network security design questions.
