What I'm looking for

I seek a security engineering role where I can build detection, harden networks/cloud, implement Zero Trust, automate remediation, and mentor teams in a collaborative, risk-focused culture.

I am a hands-on cybersecurity engineer who designs secure network architectures, tunes SIEM detection, and reduces risk across hybrid environments.

I have practical experience in firewall engineering, vulnerability management, incident response, and Zero Trust IAM, and I improve detection fidelity through custom rules, dashboards, and automation while collaborating across teams to strengthen controls.

My work includes building hybrid SIEM environments, designing segmented network defenses, implementing Zero Trust identity workflows, automating vulnerability management, and securing containerized development platforms.
