Managed and implemented the Sybase vulnerability patches across the T4T Sybase enterprise, eliminating security loop holes, and creating a more secure Sybase environment for the State of Texas.

Demonstrated leadership in maintaining audit readiness and proactively eliminating exposures with a sense of urgency by requesting and overseeing the acquisition of personal ids opposed to shared ids (remedy audit finding).
