What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in leading security initiatives that enhance identity access management and strengthen endpoint protection. My hands-on approach to securing cloud and hybrid environments has allowed me to implement practical security measures that effectively respond to threats and drive improvements in day-to-day operations.
Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated across teams to develop and implement security protocols, significantly decreasing unauthorized access events.

With a strong commitment to organizational goals, I am passionate about building secure, resilient systems. I have a proven track record of automating security processes and providing expert guidance on best practices, which has strengthened my organization's overall security posture. I am eager to continue my journey in cybersecurity, contributing to innovative solutions that safeguard critical assets.
