What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

With over 12 years of experience as a Cloud Security Engineer, I specialize in designing, implementing, and managing robust security frameworks for cloud-based infrastructures across multi-platform environments. My expertise includes securing cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, and GCP), implementing identity and access management (IAM), encryption protocols, and threat detection systems, while ensuring compliance with industry standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR.

I have successfully reduced security vulnerabilities by 40% in previous roles, implemented automated security monitoring tools that decreased incident response times by 30%, and led cloud migration projects securing over $10M in assets. Passionate about staying ahead of emerging threats, I leverage automation and cutting-edge tools to enhance cloud security, achieving a 99.9% uptime for critical systems, and drive operational excellence.
