What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use my knowledge of data privacy, GRC, and information security as a whole to improve organizational resilience and guarantee adherence to changing industry standards.

I am a results-oriented IT Compliance and Security Analyst with four years of experience implementing security controls, conducting risk assessments, and applying regulatory frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR. I focus on practical, measurable outcomes that strengthen organizational resilience.

At my current role I deploy and tune security tooling including Rapid7, AlgoSec, Nessus, and Microsoft Sentinel to detect and remediate threats, and I lead regular VAPT, DR drills, and phishing simulations to reduce risk and improve readiness.

I have delivered measurable improvements: zero incidents of data exfiltration during a major initiative, a 50% increase in social engineering awareness, 100% policy acknowledgment within deadlines, a 15% reduction in RTO, and reductions in false positives and system vulnerabilities through tuning and process changes.

I hold relevant certifications and a B.Tech in Computer Science (Cyber Security Science), and I seek roles where I can apply GRC, data privacy, vulnerability management, and cloud security skills to strengthen compliance and incident preparedness within collaborative teams.
