EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Acuitus Advanced Information Technology Program, Sunnyvale, CA October 2020 – December 2021 Acuitus, in concert with DARPA – the nation’s premiere research organization – the US Navy and Army, the Gates Foundation and Stanford, spent ten years developing a program to quickly transform entry-level military personnel into highly competent, senior-level ITs. The program builds around a thousand hours of immersion, where each participant is expected to solve hundreds of difficult designs, configuration and troubleshooting problems quickly and on their own, but where each participant also has a dedicated, exceptional, expert IT mentor/tutor. The results in the military have been stunning – graduates quickly rise to the top of their commands. I was part of the civilian-program launch. It was a unique, powerful, transformational experience, preparing me to immediately take on some of the hardest challenges in the IT field. CompTIA Security Expected November 30, 2022
