What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Cybersecurity Analyst or related role where I can apply my production operations experience, CySA+ certification, Linux and networking training, and incident-resolution skills.

I've supported reliable production operations at BNY and Verizon by validating system changes, investigating technical issues, documenting outcomes, and communicating clearly with stakeholders. At BNY, I used SQL to validate data, resolved production incidents, and developed Perl automation scripts to improve file-transmission reliability.

I'm now pursuing Cybersecurity Analyst roles, backed by CompTIA CySA+ certification and hands-on training in Linux, networking, virtual machines, and security fundamentals. I bring a detail-oriented operational mindset to system validation, incident management, and security-focused problem solving.
