What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote or hybrid role in cloud security, IAM engineering, or security operations—where I can build secure access controls, run threat detection with actionable analytics, and continuously improve identity and monitoring in high-trust environments.

I’m an IT and cloud security professional with 6+ years of cross-industry experience across manufacturing, energy, insurance, and retail. My focus is Identity and Access Management—working with Okta, SailPoint, and Microsoft Entra ID—and building secure authentication and access governance around least privilege.

I’ve hands-on experience with Microsoft Sentinel threat detection using KQL analytics rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, plus Azure infrastructure deployment with Terraform. I also build and validate IAM implementations with open-source Keycloak and automate identity lifecycle tasks with PowerShell scripts for Active Directory, Okta, and SailPoint. I’m strongest when working autonomously in high-pressure environments, and I’m currently seeking a remote or hybrid role in cloud security, IAM engineering, or security operations.
