What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers growth opportunities in cybersecurity.

I am a versatile and detail-oriented Cybersecurity Analyst & Engineer with over 8 years of progressive experience in protecting cloud-native, hybrid, and enterprise IT environments across finance, SaaS, and technology sectors. My expertise lies in implementing secure cloud architectures, integrating IAM frameworks, and configuring SIEM solutions. I am skilled in automating incident response and supporting internal/external audits, driving measurable improvements in detection capabilities and compliance posture.

Throughout my career, I have led vulnerability assessments, integrated security tools into CI/CD pipelines, and collaborated with development and DevOps teams to enhance early detection of application vulnerabilities. My certifications, including CISM, CySA+, and AWS Certified Solutions Architect, reflect my commitment to maintaining high standards in cybersecurity practices. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to protect organizations from evolving threats.
