What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Specialist with over five years of experience in Security Operations Center (SOC) environments, network engineering, and threat analysis. My expertise lies in utilizing SIEM platforms such as LogRhythm, QRadar, and Splunk, along with firewall technologies like Cisco ASA and Fortinet, to secure enterprise infrastructures effectively. I have a proven track record of implementing risk management frameworks and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, which has been instrumental in enhancing security postures for organizations.
Throughout my career, I have successfully closed critical access management gaps, monitored and analyzed security alerts, and remediated high-priority vulnerabilities. My role as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) has allowed me to align security baselines with Command Cyber criteria during audits, while my experience in deploying enterprise platforms has provided me with cross-functional technical integration skills. I am passionate about conducting threat intelligence analysis and authoring detailed threat assessment reports that guide actionable remediation steps.
I hold multiple industry certifications, including CCNA, CySA+, and Security+, which complement my hands-on experience. I am committed to continuous learning and staying ahead of evolving cyber threats, ensuring that I can provide the best possible security solutions for my clients and organizations.
