What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security engineering role focused on SOC/IR, cloud security, AI risk mitigation, collaborative remediation, and growth in detection/automation.

I am a Security Engineer with 6+ years of experience across SOC, CIRT, and Blue Team operations, focused on strengthening detection and response capabilities. I design and implement security controls across cloud and on-prem environments and build playbooks and detection content to reduce risk.

At Comscore I lead CSIRT and Blue Team operations, guided the AI security program with LLM red‑teaming and AI policy development, and automated TPRM reviews using AWS Bedrock. I drive enterprise hardening to CIS Benchmarks and collaborate with NetSec and DevOps to triage and remediate vulnerabilities.

Previously, I participated in SOC operations at Sentant, optimizing EDR platforms, managing WAF/MFA/PAM, and performing continuous control validation for global clients. As an IT Team Lead, I trained engineers, managed MDM deployments, and led cloud migrations while maintaining Linux and Windows security controls.

I hold an MS in Cyber Security and Information Assurance and multiple certifications including CISSP and CompTIA security credentials. I bring a practical, risk‑focused approach to security engineering and a track record of improving detection, response, and vendor risk workflows.
