What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead offensive security teams or contribute to SOC and incident response, at organizations valuing continuous improvement, collaboration, and impact-driven security work.

I am a Red Team leader and cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in offensive security, SOC operations, and cyber incident response.

I lead teams in planning, executing, and reporting security assessments while coordinating with stakeholders and ensuring compliance with rules of engagement.

I have experience monitoring, detecting, and responding to security incidents using SIEM, alert management, forensic investigation, and vulnerability analysis, and I continuously improve processes and tools.

I hold practical certifications and technical training and I am committed to staying current with cybersecurity trends to protect critical infrastructure and strengthen organizational security posture.
