Bio

I am a Technical Manager in Mandiant’s ICS/OT Consulting practice, focusing on cyber security for industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure. I focus on helping secure ICS and critical infrastructure around the world. https://www.mandiant.com/solutions/operational-technology Prior to joining Mandiant, I was a Senior Engineer at Entergy (over 11 years) where I was the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Transmission & Distribution SCADA systems. I have 10 years of experience in SCADA systems with tasks such as standards development, system design, database configuration, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and training. I was the co-overseer of the SCADA, relay, and cyber security labs at Entergy Transmission for 6 years. I am an experienced team leader, love problem solving, and enjoy engineering unique solutions. I'm currently researching deeper into ICS security, digital forensics, and incident response. I love breaking and fixing things. To make things work well, you must break them. I enjoy out-of-the box thinking to solve difficult or complex problems. I enjoy networking with my peers in the ICS security community across the globe...as it's a small world. I am a registered professional engineer in Louisiana, a senior member of IEEE and a member of IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES). I was a past member of the DNP Users Group and the DNP Technical Committee.
