What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining hands-on threat response and training infrastructure work, with cross-functional collaboration, operational ownership, and continuous improvement.

I am a cybersecurity and training operations professional with over 16 years of experience focused on threat response, malware analysis, and enterprise training infrastructure. I have supported incident investigations, system administration, and ISO knowledge management audits while ensuring compliance and operational reliability.

I design, deploy, and maintain VMware-based virtual training environments and co-administer platforms such as vSphere and SharePoint to ensure high availability and rapid recovery for hands-on labs. I manage servers, networking, and patching to minimize downtime and operational risk.

As a training coordinator, I lead end-to-end program logistics, scheduling, room and system readiness, and stakeholder coordination, maintaining audit-ready records and enforcing organizational policies. I develop instructional materials, lab guides, and post-training assessments to drive continuous improvement.

I have a proven track record of improving detection and operational workflows through malware analysis, correlation rule development, automation engineering, and cross-functional collaboration with product and security teams. I am detail-oriented, resilient, and committed to driving operational excellence and measurable process improvements.
