What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud and endpoint security initiatives, drive security transformations, collaborate with vendors, and grow into broader security leadership responsibilities.

I am a Cyber Security Executive with nearly four years of progressive enterprise experience delivering, implementing, and managing cybersecurity operations across cloud and on‑prem environments.

I have led organization‑wide security transformation projects, managing cybersecurity for 900+ users and endpoints, and successfully onboarded 800+ endpoints to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint while migrating users to Azure AD / Microsoft Entra ID.

My technical focus includes Microsoft Azure security, identity and access management, Microsoft Intune device management, Microsoft Purview data protection, Palo Alto firewall administration, vulnerability assessments, and incident response aligned to NIST SP 800‑61.

I am recognized for operational excellence and security governance, collaborate effectively with vendors, run phishing simulations and awareness programs, and currently lead PAM proof‑of‑concept initiatives to reduce organizational cyber risk.
