What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a forward-thinking security team where I can strengthen defenses through security operations, incident response, and vulnerability remediation—while growing into strategic work that shapes policy, mentors talent, and drives innovation through continuous learning.

I’m a cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in security operations, incident response, and threat management, supported by over a year of engineering experience in the aeronautical sector. I focus on reducing complex risks in specialized environments while building security posture that teams can execute confidently.

In my Technical Engineer role at an Air Force Base, I provided operational supervision and readiness support, ensuring fleet readiness and countering technical risks to active aviation operations. I aligned engineering modifications, maintenance, and security protocols to Air Force Technical Orders, defense standards, and national aviation regulations, quickly reporting and mitigating compliance discrepancies.

In my Network Security Engineer role at GCET, I led enterprise network deployment and established rigid access controls through firewall deployment, administration, and policy enforcement. I managed switching/routing and VLAN configuration for secure data flow, delivered escalation-ready technical support, and used Qualys to identify, track, and coordinate vulnerability remediation.

I’m also proactive in detection and prevention—monitoring logs and traffic for anomalous behavior, strengthening email security and phishing defense by analyzing headers and IOCs, and applying threat intelligence research to stay ahead of evolving attack methods. I’m committed to continuous learning, mentoring talent through security awareness and training, and ultimately advancing into strategic security roles where I can influence security policy and drive innovation.
