What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can strengthen cloud and DevSecOps security through automation, cross-team collaboration, and measurable improvements in detection, hardening, and compliance.

I am an experienced security engineer focused on cloud infrastructure, vulnerability management, and integrating security into DevOps workflows. I have implemented cloud security controls, IAM/PAM/JIT, and automated incident detection and response across enterprise environments.

My background includes hands-on work with vulnerability management (SAST, DAST, SBOM), post-audit remediation, MDM administration, and security policy implementation (NIST, GDPR). I automate workflows and repeatable security tasks using tools like n8n, Power Automate, and custom scripts to improve operational efficiency and visibility.

I have practical experience across GCP and Azure, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, SIEM and EDR/XDR platforms, and have supported HR SaaS integrations, API work, and audit workflow automation. I prioritize clear documentation, cross-team security awareness, and measurable improvements to detection, hardening, and compliance.
