What I'm looking for
I am a proactive, detail-oriented security engineer with 3+ years' experience in information security, technical support, and software development, focused on securing systems and reducing vulnerabilities through hands-on scripting and automation.
I have delivered measurable results: reducing vulnerabilities by 15% at Booking.com, achieving a 98% first-contact resolution rate, and cutting analysis time by 20% through Python and Bash automation. I also developed a Python vulnerability-scanning tool in my capstone and helped clients reduce downtime by 25% through rapid incident response.
I thrive in fast-paced, remote environments, collaborating with engineering and DevOps teams to integrate security into development lifecycles, implement patch management, and document clear, actionable security controls for stakeholders.
