Work Experience
**/** – 01/19 Security Engineer, Bemis Company, Inc. (Teksystems Contractor) Colorado Springs, CO
Completed Bemis Manufacturing Isolation project which involved isolating all Manufacturing Devices at North American sites from the rest of the Bemis network, while preserving connectivity to Engineers, Monitoring equipment, outside vendors/support, etc.,

The 2018 project plan was to complete 10 sites by end of the year. I redesigned the procedure Bemis had been using the past 2 years and completed the project in 4 months (early June). This allowed me to complete 5 additional sites and retrofit 13 sites (completed in previous years) to comply with the new standards and procedures. As part of the project, I configured and with onsite assistance installed
