What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior cloud/product security role focused on multi‑cloud threat detection, automation, DevSecOps integration, and Zero Trust in a collaborative, security-first organization where I can lead automation, improve telemetry, and drive compliance.

I am a senior cloud and product security analyst who designs and engineers threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance automation across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. I build data pipelines, SIEM detections, and automation that measurably reduce false positives and MTTR.

I have led enterprise deployments of Microsoft Defender XDR, achieving 98% endpoint coverage within 45 days and cutting MTTR from six hours to 25 minutes. I automate ticket lifecycles, create reusable Python libraries and REST clients, and implement remediation pipelines and Zero Trust controls aligned to NIST, CIS, and FedRAMP.
