Background

About Heath Kiser

I'm a mission-driven IT System Administrator with over a decade of experience supporting secure, large-scale IT environments across the U.S. Coast Guard and defense contracting sectors. I specialize in system administration, cybersecurity compliance (DISA STIG), and network infrastructure with hands-on experience managing classified systems and secure communications. I hold an active Top Secret clearance and CompTIA Security+ certification, and I've led IT teams supporting users, managed Windows Server and Cisco infrastructure, and supported disaster recovery efforts in critical situations. I’m passionate about mentoring junior IT talent, improving systems through automation and documentation, and continuing to grow my skillset in both cybersecurity and cloud technologies. Currently, I’m supporting operations at Northrop Grumman while continuing to expand my home lab and pursue advanced certifications. I’m open to opportunities that value leadership, innovation, and mission continuity in secure IT environments. I'm actively looking for IT roles in the Upstate South Carolina area. Let's connect!
