What I'm looking for

I seek a senior security role focused on cloud-native security, DevSecOps automation, and incident response within collaborative, security-first teams.

I am a Senior Cybersecurity and Cloud Security Engineer with over six years designing and implementing end-to-end security architectures across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

I have led red-team assessments, built and mentored security teams, and driven continuous improvement of security operations through automation and process optimisation, delivering measurable reductions in incidents and vulnerabilities.

My technical focus includes AWS and Azure security, zero-trust architectures, DevSecOps, SIEM/SOAR, threat hunting and incident response, with hands-on experience in tools such as Splunk, QRadar, GuardDuty, Burp Suite and CrowdStrike.

I hold multiple industry certifications including CISSP, AWS Security Specialty, and Azure Security Engineer, and I seek to bring pragmatic, automation-first security leadership to organisations that value resilience, compliance and secure innovation.
