What I'm looking for

Seeking a senior cybersecurity role leveraging my expertise in cloud security and compliance to drive strategic initiatives and lead teams in a dynamic environment.

As a seasoned cybersecurity professional, I bring over a decade of experience in cloud security, regulatory compliance, and threat intelligence. My journey began with a Postgraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from Purdue University, where I excelled in deep learning and natural language processing. My undergraduate studies in Information Systems at UniFanor Wyden laid the foundation in software engineering and database management.

Professionally, I've held roles at NTT Data Services and Cabosys, where I've led teams, architected secure cloud frameworks, and ensured compliance with industry standards. My achievements include reducing breach resolution times by 40% and achieving 100% PCI-DSS compliance. I'm certified in CISSP, CISM, and CEH, and I'm well-versed in tools like Prisma Cloud, Splunk, and Kubernetes.

I thrive in environments where I can leverage my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive security initiatives. My passion lies in creating robust security architectures and leading cross-functional teams to achieve operational excellence. I'm committed to continuous learning and staying ahead of emerging threats in the cybersecurity landscape.
