What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role where I can manage threats in a 24/7 SOC, run vulnerability and risk assessments, and strengthen ISO27001/SOC2 compliance using SIEM/EDR/SOAR—turning threat intelligence into measurable defenses.

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with a background in Network Infrastructure, focused on identifying and mitigating security threats. I bring strong analytical skills gained through real-world security problem solving and team-based application exercises.

I’ve managed threat analysis in a 24/7 environment, identifying and mitigating risks across diverse network Ce-CSP environments. I conduct vulnerability assessments, develop mitigation plans, and support audit readiness for ISO27001 framework alignment like SOC2 and ISO27001.

I also strengthen security through awareness and compliance work—delivering cybersecurity awareness training to staff while ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations. Working with GRC standards, I’ve contributed to processes aligned to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.

Beyond my analyst role, I’ve operated across IT support and network operations, including Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and troubleshooting across systems and endpoints. I’m driven by SOC-style workflows and hands-on tooling—SIEM, SOAR, and EDR—so I can turn threat intelligence into practical, measurable defenses.
