What I'm looking for

I seek a security leadership role where I can drive threat detection, compliance, incident response, and security culture while aligning security with business goals.

I am a proactive information security leader with hands-on experience in threat detection, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and incident response. I have driven measurable improvements in security posture, including reductions in attack surface and faster incident response.

As Team Lead, I led cross-functional security efforts, managed audits to achieve ISO 27001 and PCI DSS compliance, authored policies, and delivered board-level risk reporting. My background includes offensive security work, SIEM monitoring, and delivering security awareness programs that greatly improved phishing reporting and reduced incidents.

I combine technical expertise (SIEM, pentesting tools, network and endpoint security) with leadership, audit coordination, and policy development to align security with business strategy and foster a strong security culture.
