What I'm looking for

I seek a security role where I can lead SOC/GRC initiatives, improve detection and response, work cross-functionally, and grow toward greater responsibility in compliance and security operations.

I am an Information Security Specialist with hands-on experience in SOC operations, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and incident response. I have implemented SIEM and SOAR use cases, led security awareness and phishing programs, conducted vendor risk assessments, and produced comprehensive security reports to align security operations with business objectives.

I have worked across banking and private sectors, contributing to 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting with NIDS, and compliance efforts including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NDPA and GDPR. I emphasize collaboration with IT, HR and cross-functional teams to embed security best practices and drive measurable improvements in detection, response, and regulatory readiness.
