What I'm looking for

I'm open to SOC Manager, Security Operations Manager, GRC Manager, Microsoft Security Engineer or Consultant, and Senior Cybersecurity Consultant roles.

At Cyber Managed Services Inc. (CyberMSI), I oversaw 24x7 SOC operations on Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR. I drove SIEM/XDR tuning and SOAR automation playbooks that cut incident response time by 90%.

I also owned governance and risk oversight for traditional and AI-driven SecOps, aligned with CIS Controls v8, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001/42001. I led audit programs and maintained the enterprise risk register, including AI-specific risks and control gaps.

Earlier, at CareCloud, I worked on application security and vulnerability assessment, including penetration testing across network, mobile, and web applications. My work also spans ISO audits, security policies, and risk assessment; I hold CISM and CSOCP certifications.
