What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining frontend/web development and operational incident management in collaborative teams, with opportunities to improve services and scale digital products.

I am an IT professional with over 10 years of experience spanning major incident management, web development, and technical stakeholder coordination in international environments.

In my current role in Major Incident Management, I have coordinated high-impact incidents affecting global production and logistics, including ransomware attacks and supply-chain breaches. My responsibilities include rapid impact assessment, security escalation, war room facilitation, cross-team coordination, and executive-level communication — working closely with SOC and security teams throughout the incident lifecycle.

Alongside this, I bring several years of hands-on web development experience, building and maintaining production websites and applications using modern web stacks and CMS platforms. This background gives me a practical understanding of common web vulnerabilities, authentication and authorization pitfalls, third-party integrations, and real-world attack surfaces.

I am now intentionally focusing my career on cybersecurity, targeting SOC and Cyber Security Analyst roles as a strategic step toward penetration testing and offensive security. I combine technical curiosity with strong documentation, communication, and process discipline — enabling me to operate effectively in both security operations and client-facing environments.
