I’m a CompTIA Security+ and SC-200 certified cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in Azure cloud governance, security monitoring, and automation. I design and deploy enterprise-scale automation systems that improve compliance, reduce operational overhead, and enhance visibility into cloud resources.

In my current role as an Associate Systems Engineer at MAQ Software, I designed and developed CloudGuard Lifecycle Manager to manage the full lifecycle of Azure resource groups, including automated creation, monitoring, and deletion workflows. I also implemented automated detection of unused and expired Azure resources using Log Analytics queries and alert rules, and built notification and escalation workflows (email + manager approval flows) to enforce governance policies.

I focus on incident detection and cloud security operations—integrating Azure Monitor and alerting to track lifecycle violations and trigger remediation. Alongside governance and compliance enforcement through PowerShell and Azure CLI, I contributed to an AI-driven IT ticketing agent for Microsoft Teams and provided enterprise IT support for Windows/Linux systems while adhering to SLA-defined response times.
