What I'm looking for

I seek a security role where I can apply SOC monitoring, incident response, automation, and audit rigor to reduce risk and scale defenses while collaborating cross-functionally.

I am a cybersecurity professional with over nine years of progressive experience across SOC operations, security engineering, IT operations, and technology risk and audit. I currently work as a SOC Analyst I where I focus on SIEM monitoring, alert triage, incident escalation, and incident documentation.

I have driven measurable security outcomes — detecting and escalating 50+ high-risk incidents monthly, reducing mean detection time by 22%, automating triage with Phantom SOAR, and improving threat-hunting coverage by 28% using MITRE ATT&CK and Sigma rules. My prior roles include IT security engineering work at a large enterprise and IT audit engagements where I performed ITGC audits, risk assessments, and control remediation aligned to SOX, NIST, and ISO frameworks.

I blend audit rigor with hands-on technical execution, delivering endpoint protection, vulnerability management, cloud posture improvements, and automated security dashboards that save significant reporting time. I hold CISA and CSM certifications and am committed to strengthening enterprise security posture through proactive measures, automation, and cross-functional collaboration.
