I'm Phillip King — an MIS student who runs identity and access for a government travel contractor by day, and builds the hardened, audit-ready systems behind it.
What draws me in is the seam between people and infrastructure: access that just works, devices that stay locked down, and data that answers a question worth asking.
I read what people actually need, then go fix it at the layer where it stays fixed.
My edge is range. I came up through customer-facing and leadership roles, so I notice what trips users up — and I've spent the last stretch deep in the technical layer, where I'd rather solve a root cause once than reopen the same ticket twice.
At Omega World Travel I run identity and access on Google Workspace — managing users, groups, MFA, SSO, and permissions, and handling the full account lifecycle from provisioning to deactivation with least-privilege in mind.
Alongside the day-to-day, I built the project I'm proudest of: a Microsoft Intune environment from scratch for a government contractor, hardened to CIS baselines and documented against NIST 800-171 — the kind of write-up an auditor actually accepts.
I'm finishing my MIS degree because I want both halves — the architecture and the reasoning behind it. I'm drawn to teams where security, data, and sound judgment all carry weight. The industry matters less to me than the standard the work is held to.
Customer leadership first, then identity, endpoint, and compliance work that compounds.
Security, data, and business projects — sort by whatever you're hiring for.
Stood up an Intune MDM environment from nothing for a government contractor, then scripted 235+ CIS Windows 11 Enterprise controls in PowerShell.
Mined business datasets with SQL and Excel to surface trends and present them in a format a decision-maker could act on.
Ran applied analytics across hypothesis testing, ANOVA, regression, correlation, and chi-square, with dashboard-style summaries.
Built the technical base through security engineering and Python — structured problem solving, scripting, and systems thinking.
Investigated how AI hiring tools can cut bias through independent audits, transparency, and stronger accountability.
Led part of a group study positioning the Civic against the Corolla and mapping where it could win on product and experience.
Ordered the way a reviewer scans: security, then data, then the human side.

Where I'm building the network and the leadership reps that don't show up on a transcript.
Active in GMU's MIS professional community — networking events and career development pointed squarely at the business-and-technology track I'm headed toward.
Stepping into Scholarship Chair next semester — owning the chapter's academic standards: study hours, GPA tracking, and academic support for a 50+ member chapter. Already helped drive its events and philanthropy.
The parts of my life that say more about how I work than any skills list could.
Guitar is home base, but I've put serious years into piano, saxophone, and violin too. A decade behind a DAW taught me the same discipline security did: obsess over the small stuff, and don't ship until every layer sits exactly right.
Twice, from bare parts — picking every component, cabling it clean, and tuning it to run cool and quiet. The same instinct that makes me good with systems shows up the second there's a screwdriver in my hand.
Reading the terrain, committing to the line, staying composed when it gets fast — calculated risk, made in real time.
The long game: consistency over intensity, progress I can measure, and showing up on the days it would be easier not to.
Open to internships and entry-level roles across IT and security, systems analysis, identity and access, GRC, and data or business analytics. If your team cares about getting it right the first time, we'll get along.
