What I'm looking for

I seek a security-focused technical role where I can apply cloud and IAM expertise, contribute to automated threat detection, and grow into advanced cloud security responsibilities in a collaborative team.

I am an IT and cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience managing cloud and on-premises environments across Linux and Windows, focusing on cloud security, IAM, endpoint security, and risk mitigation. I have deployed and managed 10+ virtual machines in Azure and VirtualBox and built automated detection and response pipelines using Wazuh SIEM to reduce exposure time from malicious files.

I have architected Azure Entra ID tenants with RBAC and least-privilege controls, designed VNets and NSGs for network segmentation, and implemented GPOs and NTFS permission controls to harden endpoints. My background includes cross-functional collaboration with HR and IT, practical troubleshooting of cloud deployments, and a security-first mindset for protecting users and infrastructure.
