Summary

Dedicated and seasoned TEMPEST Engineering Technician with over five years of hands-on experience and a proven track record of ensuring secure and interference-free electronic systems. Possessing a current Certified TEMPEST Professional 1 (CTP-I) certificate, I bring a deep understanding of RF and TEMPEST principles. My expertise extends to both the private sector and military, with four years of service in the US Air Force as a C-130 Avionics Repair Specialist.

During my tenure in the Air Force, I honed my technical skills, demonstrating proficiency in avionics repair and maintenance within a high-pressure and mission-critical environment. This experience instilled in me a commitment to precision, attention to detail, and the ability to excel in challenging situations. Transitioning to the civilian sector, I seamlessly translated my military expertise into the field of TEMPEST engineering, where I have successfully contributed to the development of a number of military systems.

As a TEMPEST Engineering Technician, I have consistently ensured compliance with TEMPEST standards, providing comprehensive solutions to mitigate electromagnetic vulnerabilities. My analytical mindset, coupled with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues, has resulted in enhanced system integrity and reliability for my employers.
