Physical security technology
Enterprise cameras, access control, cloud platforms, and systems that protect people and sites.
Wade Ivy · Security engineering & infrastructure
Security in the field.Independent work in the open.
My professional work is security engineering in an MSP environment—across cybersecurity, enterprise networking, and physical-security technology. Outside that role, I lead a nonprofit and build software, tools, and creative projects. Each track is shown on its own, with the work behind it.
01 / Professional practiceMSP security
Security where systems meet.
A cross-domain view of the infrastructure, people, and operations modern organizations depend on.
I joined on a six-month contract and converted to full time through the results. Alongside one other engineer, I built the physical-security support function from the ground up, established the processes the team still uses, and helped grow it by referring and training a Tier 2 engineer.
Cybersecurity operations
Identity, endpoints, detection, response, security platforms, and root-cause investigation.
Enterprise networking
Firewalls, routing, segmentation, and networks connecting critical services.
Built from zeroPhysical-security support function established from the ground up.
300+ ticketsBacklog handled by a two-person team; triage and escalation practices established.
Team growthReferred and trained the Tier 2 engineer who joined the group.

03 / Public-interest work
Technology in service of the public.
I founded and lead a nonprofit operating 14 chapters across three states. I also architect and run the infrastructure behind its public-records work, supporting a growing archive of indexed local-government meetings.
