Information Security Specialist specializing in vulnerability management, EDR, and threat detection for regulated environments.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Information Security Specialist with over 5 years of experience in infrastructure security, cloud security, and security operations. My focus is turning vulnerability and threat signals into measurable risk reduction through strong detection, response, and automation.
At TD Bank, I led high-impact security audits to ensure alignment with ISO 27001, NIST, and regulatory requirements. I integrated Jira and ServiceNow with vulnerability management to automate vulnerability ticket creation, and enhanced compliance scanning with encryption checks and expanded coverage across infrastructure and endpoints.
In my prior Senior Information Security Analyst role, I analyzed cyber security vulnerability, threats, and incident trends to pinpoint root causes and propose countermeasures. I supported enterprise platform implementation by discovery, identification, prioritization, reporting, and follow-up on vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and I designed automated security metrics for the Vulnerability Management program.
Earlier as a Security Associate, I worked across Customer Authentication, CSIRT, Cyber Innovation, and Cloud Security—supporting cloud onboarding workshops and intake/triage for cloud technology risks. I also strengthen detection capabilities by writing and tuning CSIRT detection rules, and I leverage Python, Bash, and Java for scripting and security workflow automation.
