## About

```text
At Deepwatch, I conduct continuous security monitoring across multi-tenant enterprise environments, reviewing system telemetry and security controls to detect anomalies.

I investigate unauthorized system changes and suspicious activity, documenting evidence preservation, chain of custody, and root-cause analyses for audit readiness.

At Cognizant, I monitored security controls and event telemetry across enterprise client environments. I correlated SIEM logs to distinguish malicious activity from operational anomalies and managed incident findings in case-management platforms.

At MBL Technologies Inc., I ran vulnerability scans with Tenable Nessus and Qualys, assessed findings against NIST SP 800-53 and DISA STIGs, and tracked remediation through the POA&M lifecycle. I hold CISM, CISA, CEH, and CompTIA Security+ certifications.
