What I'm looking for
As a Principal Cybersecurity Engineer with extensive experience in implementing and enhancing cybersecurity applications, I have led multiple projects that significantly improved security measures and customer satisfaction. My work at Trinet Group Inc. involved migrating EDR solutions and implementing SOAR, which reduced the mean-time-to-detect security events by 50%. I am passionate about creating automation tools that streamline processes, having successfully decreased overall workload by 30% through innovative solutions.
My previous roles have equipped me with a robust understanding of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) frameworks. At PlanSource Benefits, I led the implementation of a SIEM system that provided 24/7 monitoring and improved our incident response capabilities. My commitment to enhancing security awareness is evident from my initiatives that reduced phishing click rates from 60% to 3%. I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and allow me to contribute to the security posture of the organization.
