O’Leary Computers Inc

With roughly 30 years experience in IT and security, I specialize in architecting, building, automating, and securing business processes and systems. In 2022, I officially transitioned to a new role focusing on cloud security, becoming the first person in my company to specialize in this critical area. My professional journey began in military intelligence as a Russian Linguist in the USAF so security is a core concept that I bring to all positions I hold.

  • Drafted, coordinated and implemented my company’s cloud security policy and standards.

  • Roughly 20 years management experience leading teams of anywhere from 4 to 13 people including other managers..

  • Automated audit evidence collection reducing time required for this task from weeks to minutes.

  • Proficient in perl, python, bash.

  • Familiar with puppet, ansible, ansible tower, cloudformation, and terraform.
