Is today #FediHire Friday? Sure looks like it!

What I'm looking for: A senior level, individual contributor role supporting Windows, Active Directory, Certificates, PKI, Azure, and information security in a large environment. Interested in relocating outside of the US. I like to solve weird problems and make computers run smoothly. I want to help others use technology effectively.

My main focus the last few years has been rebuilding and modernizing a struggling certificate management team. That includes growing the team to meet our company needs, migrating our AD-integrated private PKI stack, getting a handle on our web PKI consumption, and making massive improvements to our certificate lifecycle management platform. I supported and advised our CyberSec and Desktop teams as we rolled out multi-factor authentication to 50,000 employees and contractors across the US. My background in understanding deep computer fundamentals, talent for quickly grasping nuances of larger systems, and calmness in a crisis have contributed to quickly resolving major technology outages regardless of root cause.

This role hasn't been exclusively technical. A big part of my current job is building relationships with our developers to help them understand how certificates work, the responsible ways to use them, and what our relevant internal policies are. I've been training and teaching junior and mid-level engineers both practical PKI concepts and our specific enterprise requirements. I've gotten to spend some time with upper management to both explain the immediate challenges we've had and the plans we can implement improve our infrastructure, reducing costs and outages.

While this position has been focused on certs and how to use them, I'm very comfortable considering a technical leadership role for Windows (server and desktop) administration and Active Directory. I also have some good experience with Azure and virtualization platforms, but they haven't been my daily focus for several years.

My current employer is direct retail for general public consumers. I've also worked in banking/finance, manufacturing, and architecture firms. The common thread is I love to help people leverage technology for their goals, to help them be more effective.

In my personnel/volunteer time I've done very similar: working backstage with lights/sounds/projections so live performers can do their best.

Right now I'm in Syracuse, New York (about five hours from NYC), but I'm open to relocation/migration anywhere in the world.

PMs open if you want to talk details. Boosts/reshares appreciated.

"[Center for Internet Security] found that 82% of K-12 organizations suffered what it called a “cyber incident,” based on an 18-month study of 5,000 institutions. The organization observed nearly 14,000 security events and confirmed that 9,300 were cyber incidents. CIS found that threats targeting humans exceeded other techniques by 45%."

Volume SEVEN of my #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity / #Infosec newsletter, "Scrolls" has landed! You can read and get scrollin' here https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-03-14.

It features the usual awesomeness and also has a vastly improved logo, created by my good friend and super talented artist angryrolypoly (https://www.instagram.com/angryrolypoly/). He's also the genius behind a lot of the other art on my site including my Fedi profile pic!

Also, special shoutout as well to @humdrum for making some other art for the Scrolls cause 🤗.

The art and images of Scrolls, as much as the links themselves are what make it such a pleasure to read - one more big THANK YOU to @shaferbrown & @skeddles for being such talented artists. I enjoy seeing everything you post!

Finally, my mass-shouting-out of everyone else who contributed to this weeks edition! Sharing the cool stuff you find, build and create is what makes the Internet great, and this newsletter so fun to put together.
