Cybersecurity Specialist and Software Engineer focused on securing endpoints, automating response, and reducing risk.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Specialist and Software Engineer with an extensive technical background in systems diagnostics, infrastructure support, and incident response. I focus on securing endpoint environments, remediating threats, and turning log data into actionable detections.
In my current role as an Owner & Lead Technical Specialist, I engineered systematic diagnostic workflows for 100+ Windows and macOS devices, cutting repair turnaround time by 40%. I also remediated critical vulnerabilities and malware across 50+ client environments, achieving a 95% successful restoration rate, while optimizing device lifecycles to extend hardware longevity by 3 years.
I enjoy high-stakes, cross-functional environments and I’ve applied that mindset through automation and security engineering—building an open-source Python utility for phishing indicator detection and developing forensic learning materials spanning SIEM labs, log auditing, and memory forensics. I bring strong documentation discipline, Agile-friendly collaboration, and a troubleshooting-first approach to every incident.
