Summary
Donald M is a Senior Security Engineer with two decades of hands-on experience in Unix/Linux infrastructure, DevSecOps, compliance automation, and security operations. He excels at bridging technical and business perspectives to deliver measurable improvements—examples include cutting Artifactory storage by 26%, orchestrating large migrations, and enabling a first-ever zero-deficiency audit year through AI-driven control automation. Comfortable across operations, architecture, and tooling, he builds pragmatic automation (Ansible, Python, UiPath) that reduces toil and prevents pipeline and production disruptions. A pragmatic Unix specialist who led AD insourcing and CyberArk deployments, he’s equally adept at translating audit requirements into technical controls. Based in North Richland Hills, TX, he brings a scientist’s curiosity—serving as Research Director at a Belize field station studying reptile ecology—into creative problem solving for security and reliability.
