What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on threat detection, IR, and vulnerability remediation in a collaborative, learning-focused team where I can grow technical expertise and impact security posture.

I am a proactive cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in SIEM maintenance (Splunk, Wazuh), threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and incident response developed through the TripleTen Cybersecurity Training Program and practical projects. I blend a Purple Team-aligned mindset with seven years of autonomous operational experience to protect high-value research and distributed network assets and to design resilient, adversary-aware security for scientific missions.

I have led penetration testing and network modernization projects—identifying and remediating critical vulnerabilities, configuring pfSense firewalls, developing IRPs using NIST CSF, and implementing hybrid cloud strategies that reduced bandwidth bottlenecks by 60%. I seek roles where I can apply investigative focus, continuous monitoring, and DevSecOps practices to strengthen defenses and improve organizational security posture.
