PROFILE // SUMMARY
/usr/danny/about.md  —  read-only

I'm an IT Manager who builds programs the way engineers build systems: instrumented, documented, and designed to outlast the person who built them. My focus is the intersection of infrastructure, security, and compliance — the unglamorous work that keeps regulated companies audit-ready and employees productive.

Over 7+ years I've taken IT functions from scrappy to scalable, stood up SOC 2 and HIPAA programs from scratch, migrated workforces across identity and productivity platforms, and consistently delivered measurable cost savings without cutting capability.

Currently leading IT infrastructure & security at a fully remote healthcare technology company — and open to my next Manager / Director of IT role where compliance rigor, operational discipline, and pragmatic automation move the business forward.
