CanadaWhat I'm looking for
With over 15 years of experience in multiple areas of Information Technology, I am a highly experienced cyber-security and IT infrastructure professional with knowledge in information security, cloud solutions, virtualization, networks, and data centers. As a solution architecture/implementation expert, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table.
My experience in information security includes understanding of well-known standards such as CIS, NIST, MITRE, and ISO 27001. This enables me to create security guidelines, make informed decisions, and architect effective security solutions. I am also a Zero Trust evangelist, and I possess a strong knowledge of solutions like network security (next-gen firewalls, UTM solutions, IPS/IDS, etc.), cloud security (Azure and Microsoft 365 security suite), and vulnerability management (Rapid7 InsightVM and InsightAppSec, Tenable Nessus, OpenVAS, etc.).
Additionally, I possess a basic understanding of SAST, DAST, IAST, RASP, and SCA and can provide valuable insights and ideas during meetings to help decision-makers. My strong knowledge of virtualized environments includes VMware Suite for servers and desktops (VDI), Nutanix, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM. I also have extensive knowledge of wired, wireless, routing, switching, virtual networks, VPNs, and critical data center environments, such as servers and storage.
I can effectively articulate my ideas and viewpoints. I am detail-oriented, motivated by challenges, and focused on collaborative problem-solving. As a self-taught professional, I am always on the lookout for innovative solutions to reduce costs, improve quality, and enhance security.
Certifications I have earned throughout my career include the CCSK Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge, Rapid7 InsightAppSec Certified Specialist, Microsoft SC-900 - Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals, API Security Architect, CISCO CCNA, Enterasys Certified Specialist - Policy, Enterasys Certified Specialist - Wireless, Microsoft Certified Professional, IPv6 Forum Certified Silver Engineer, VMware Certified Associate – Data Center Virtualization, and Fortinet NSE 1 and 2.
