What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers challenges in cybersecurity and opportunities for growth.

I am a specialist with over 20 years of experience in SOC management and cybersecurity. My career has been dedicated to protecting digital assets and systems from threats, leveraging deep technical knowledge of cybersecurity principles and modern SaaS applications. I thrive on new challenges and am passionate about designing and securing globally deployed network infrastructures.

Currently, I lead a team of cybersecurity professionals at Tata Consultancy Services, where I oversee security operations and ensure compliance with industry standards such as ISO 27001 and PCI. My role involves developing incident response plans, enhancing security posture, and actively monitoring emerging threats. I have a proven track record in project management and have successfully implemented various security controls and policies.

Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, I excel in communication, making complex data solutions comprehensible to both technical and business teams. I am committed to continuous improvement and mentoring others, fostering a collaborative environment across multi-functional groups.
