Hi, my name is Justin! I am a Solutions Architect for Informanix Technology Group. I have been in the IT field for over 5 years now with a large part of my time specializing in Networking and Security infrastructure. My role focuses on consulting with leadership and technology leaders in the business to help build and transform their network to conform with new Zero trust principles. I love the collaboration and design portions of my job the most, this is where I get to build new diagrams to showcase the new capabilities or connectivity flows to help visualize and quantify the improvement we are making in the network. I'm excited to display the change in the security boarder and how we are moving the enforcement zone to support work from anywhere and tying this access to Identity and not the network. This really challenges network and security teams to rethink how access to applications are given and its nice to see how this resolves both active challenges they are facing and facilitates easier implementation of new security compliances better than a traditional network could.
For those that know me I am a very bubbly and social person with deep technical knowledge in the networking space that is ever-growing. I can accredit this due to the fact that I love to study for and challenge certification exams about new and current networking technologies. In my own time I love to snowboard, go to the gym and work on personal finance. I have spent a lot of time learning and working on my own personal finances from saving, budget tracking and taxes, but my main focus of interest will always be investing and understanding different investment strategies and portfolio options. I also stay updated on new information and how others are investing themselves to see if there is something I can do within my own portfolio that could benefit. I hope to add a section to this site soon with a bit more on finance.
