What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role where I can lead incident response, enhance detection capabilities, and mentor teams while working in a collaborative, process-driven environment that values continuous learning and cloud-security growth.

I am a cybersecurity professional with six years of experience detecting and responding to threats, architecting SIEM workflows, and managing endpoint security across enterprise environments. I have implemented detection logic in Splunk, executed vulnerability assessments with Qualys and Nessus, and led incident response efforts to contain DDoS, malware, and intrusion events.

I hold certifications including CEH, CompTIA CySA+, Security+, Splunk Core Certified User, and AWS Cloud Practitioner, and I combine hands-on tool expertise (CrowdStrike, Rapid7, Darktrace, FortiGate, Kali Linux) with strong collaboration skills to improve processes, documentation, and security posture across organizations.
