I am a cybersecurity-focused IT engineer with hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365, Azure migrations, and identity and access management. I’ve led initiatives to prepare M365 data for AI integration, improve Defender for Cloud secure scores, and automate identity lifecycles with SailPoint. My approach combines technical troubleshooting with process optimization to reduce risk and enhance the user experience.
I have practical incident response experience using Cortex XDR, Defender XDR, CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, and Splunk, and I regularly perform vulnerability and access audits to maintain compliance.
