Jared Young

Senior Operations Engineer | Security Automation | AI Systems

MS in Artificial Intelligence, Kent State University (Dec. 2026)

I handle IT and security issues from first report to resolution, then turn the fix into scripts, documentation, or training other people can reuse. My work sits at the edge of endpoint security, client support, infrastructure, and AI-focused tooling.
