About Me
Passionate, Curious, and a Life-long learner.
Thanks for visiting my site! My name is Mario Raya(sunshine)-Alvarez. I am an enthusiastic cybersecurity professional with over 10 years of experience! I started my career in 2015 as an Information Systems Technician (IT) in the Navy developing into various roles such as a network engineer, system engineer, and ending as an Information System Security Officer (ISSO). I separated from the Navy in 2023 after 8 years of service and immediately began working as a contractor for the DoD. I currently work as an Information System Security Manager (ISSM) where some of my duties include:
- Developing and managing information security policies and procedures..
- Evaluating, selecting, and deploying new information security technologies.
- Continuously evaluate the current architecture to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and opportunities for upgrades or improvements.
I look forward to taking my level understanding in cybersecurity and implementing it in new technology and skills. Below are some projects I have been working on, beginning with this website!
