What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cybersecurity and offers opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Professional with over 3.5 years of experience specializing in securing critical domains such as Access, Endpoints, Network, Cloud Infrastructure, and Threat Intelligence. My expertise lies in utilizing advanced security tools and techniques to deliver comprehensive protection across diverse environments. Currently, I work as a Cyber Security Consultant at NielsenIQ, where I handle escalated cases, conduct incident triage, malware analysis, and oversee incidents from detection through to resolution and remediation.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with stakeholders to support larger security initiatives and resilience testing, ensuring continuous improvement of the security posture. I have refined threat detection signatures and enhanced incident response capabilities by leveraging SOAR and optimized Threat Hunting processes. My commitment to proactive security measures is evident in my work, including creating global phishing attack simulations and utilizing intelligence reports to hunt for and mitigate vulnerabilities.
