What I'm looking for

I’m open to international relocation and want to secure Microsoft cloud and hybrid identities—building Zero Trust controls, SOC 2/ISO-aligned governance, and automation that improves reliability and audit readiness.

I’m a senior systems, identity, and cloud security engineer with 6+ years of experience securing Microsoft-centric enterprise environments across IAM, Microsoft 365, endpoint security, hybrid infrastructure, and network security.

In my recent role as a Senior Systems & Security Engineer, I designed and secured Microsoft cloud and hybrid identity architecture using Entra ID, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and Azure—leading secure onboarding, offboarding, and privileged access for enterprise applications.

I delivered zero-downtime Microsoft 365 migrations (200+ users from on-prem Exchange), implemented Conditional Access, MFA, RBAC, PIM/JIT, access reviews, and least-privilege controls, and reduced endpoint incidents by 50% through Intune and Defender for Endpoint. I also built DLP, sensitivity labels, retention, and audit logging to improve audit readiness and reduce data leakage incidents.

I bring strong governance and operational maturity—automating identity lifecycle and compliance workflows with PowerShell, integrating Entra ID/AWS/FortiGate logs into LogSign SIEM, and supporting SOC 2 Type II readiness aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST. I’ve also led a 50+ member technical operations team, delivering 99.9% uptime and 24x7 support while coordinating vendors and stakeholders.
