Network and cybersecurity professional with 9+ years securing banking and regulated environments.
What I'm looking for
I am a network and cybersecurity professional with over nine years of experience protecting enterprise and highly regulated banking environments. I specialize in security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, and compliance-driven security programs including ISO 27001, PCI DSS v4, and SWIFT.
In my current role I monitor and analyze SIEM, firewalls, endpoint security, and IDS/IPS, lead incident investigations and root-cause analysis, and support ISMS activities and audit readiness. I have a strong hands-on background in infrastructure hardening, secure systems integration, and maintaining security infrastructure aligned with regulatory requirements.
Previously I designed and maintained WAN/LAN infrastructure, configured routers, switches, firewalls and VPNs, and implemented network security controls while supporting disaster recovery and business continuity. I played a key role in achieving and maintaining ISO 27001 certification and delivered major secure integrations with national and regulatory platforms.
I hold a postgraduate program in Cyber Security from the University of Texas at Austin and multiple industry certifications (ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, PCI DSS v4 Implementer, CCNP/CCNA, MikroTik, FortiGate). I focus on improving threat visibility, audit readiness, and system availability to reduce risk and strengthen enterprise security posture.
