What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to apply my technical skills and contribute to enhancing organizational cybersecurity posture.

I am a dynamic and certified cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in developing robust defense strategies and implementing proactive measures to safeguard critical assets. Currently, I serve as a Senior Information Security Engineer at Wells Fargo, where I have successfully tripled our VPN user capacity during the COVID-19 era and provided ongoing support as part of the Pulse Secure team.

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for conducting research, analysis, design, testing, and implementation of complex cybersecurity solutions. My expertise includes managing privileged access, troubleshooting user connection issues, and creating technical documentation. I take pride in my ability to identify security vulnerabilities and conduct risk assessments, ensuring compliance with corporate security policies and best practices.
