I lead global MDR operations, threat hunting, and security automation for enterprise incident response.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Broadcom, formerly VMware and Carbon Black, I lead a global Managed Detection and Response team delivering 24/7/365 threat monitoring and incident response across international sites.
I've scaled a team of security analysts and threat hunters, strengthened triage workflows, and partnered with engineering to shape Carbon Black security features using live operational insights and emerging threat data. I also maintained SLAs and service continuity through the Carbon Black-to-VMware-to-Broadcom acquisitions.
Previously, I served as Shift Lead for MDR Operations, acting as the technical escalation point during high-severity incidents, assessing customer security posture, and building automation that reduced repetitive analyst work and incident response time.
My foundation spans endpoint monitoring, behavioral analysis, Python codebase maintenance, C++, Java, C#, and customer-facing threat communication. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science, GCIH certification, and advanced cybersecurity training in detection, automation, protocols, and security controls.
