Eight years (2015–2023) as an Aviation Security Operations Crew Chief with American Airlines in Charlotte, NC — federally regulated operations under FAA, OSHA, IATA, and CBP requirements, holding a security clearance with a CBP badge endorsement for international flight operations. Recurrent incident-response and safety/security training, every year, no skips.
In that world, high-accountability documentation, identity validation, and access control aren’t compliance checkboxes — they’re the game loop of every shift. That operational discipline now backs an analyst’s toolkit: CompTIA Security+ ce (SY0-701) and a B.S. in Information Technologies, cybersecurity concentration, from Southern New Hampshire University — Summa Cum Laude, 3.96 GPA, Sigma Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda.
HOUSE RULE, PRINTED ON THE CABINET: every claim on this screen maps to a public repo, a credential, or a document. No invented power-ups. All security work is defensive — detection and mitigation, never offense.
