  • Demonstrated experience applying and interpreting NIST 800-53, OWASP, and DISA STIGs in real-world projects
  • Strong hands-on technical background in networking, system administration, or software development
  • Proficiency with SIEM tools—especially Splunk—for event correlation, alerting, and compliance reporting
  • Familiarity with Agile development environments and DevSecOps principles
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create reports and briefings for technical and non-technical stakeholders
