At Nightwing, I supported cybersecurity operations for government systems in high-security environments. My role focused on monitoring and protecting networks, helping identify vulnerabilities, and supporting incident response when issues came up. I worked closely with engineers and analysts to apply security controls, review logs, and make sure systems stayed compliant with federal standards. I was trusted to handle sensitive data and contribute in fast-paced, mission-focused situations.
