What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead vulnerability management and incident response, automate workflows, embed compliance, and deliver measurable risk reduction.

I am a cybersecurity specialist with hands-on experience in vulnerability management, incident response, cloud and on-prem security, and automation. I have reduced incident backlogs, led patch orchestration, developed detection rules, and produced executive threat reporting that aligns CVSS to remediation priorities.

I build SOPs, playbooks, and structured investigation templates to standardize triage and speed remediation while embedding compliance controls (HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST 800-171, SOC 2) into processes. I combine scripting, SIEM work, and platform expertise to drive measurable reductions in MTTR and exploitable attack surface.
