What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cybersecurity and offers opportunities for professional growth in a dynamic team environment.

I am an energetic and self-motivated IT Security professional with over 9.5 years of experience in various aspects of Information Security, including Threat Hunting, Penetration Testing, and Incident Response. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for staying ahead of emerging threats in the cybersecurity landscape.

Currently, I lead a threat hunting team at Deloitte España, where I build processes for incident response and proactively identify vulnerabilities through Breach and Attack Simulations. My expertise extends to creating detection rules and conducting thorough analyses of advanced persistent threats (APTs) using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. I have a proven track record of delivering results and enhancing security postures for organizations across multiple sectors.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to information security awareness and have received accolades for my innovative approaches to threat hunting. I am now seeking a position that allows me to leverage my skills in a challenging environment that fosters professional growth and innovation.
