About

Hello, my name is Malik W. Dixon. I am an internet marketer, designer, developer, DevOps practitioner, and DevSecOps advocate with a strong background in information technology, digital strategy, innovation, automation, and secure technology systems. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and a Master’s degree in Internet Marketing. I am also continuing to expand my expertise through advanced study and hands-on work in emerging technologies, AI, cloud computing, automation, DevOps, and DevSecOps. I am a disabled U.S. Army veteran, having served from 1982 to 1992. My military experience helped shape my discipline, resilience, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to lifelong learning. Today, I continue to build, create, secure, and improve technology with purpose. I enjoy learning the tools of my trade just as much as I enjoy working on personal tech projects, including flying, repairing, and programming quadcopter drones.
