What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on incident response, SOC work, and cloud security where I can improve detection, automate defenses, and help mature security programs.

I am a hands-on cybersecurity analyst with experience in cloud security (AWS, Azure), SOC operations, incident response, and threat analysis. I have implemented security best practices, managed IAM roles and policies, and automated security workflows using tools such as Tenable, ELK Stack, Splunk, and BurpSuite.

I have delivered measurable reductions in incidents and vulnerabilities—deploying patches and endpoint controls across 100+ devices and cutting security incidents by 35%—and built centralized log management and SIEM detection capabilities. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and committed to protecting organizational assets while continuously improving security posture.
