I protect enterprise applications through WAF, DDoS mitigation, and incident response.

Message

At Thales, I lead application-security initiatives across WAF controls, OWASP Top 10 protections, advanced bot mitigation, vulnerability assessment, DDoS protection, and incident response for customer environments. I developed a unified security-testing script that increased testing efficiency by 60% and accelerated vulnerability-identification cycles.

I review penetration-test findings, CVEs, threat intelligence, and security advisories to assess exposure, exploitation paths, business impact, and remediation priorities. I also produce root-cause analyses, develop compensating controls, analyze traffic in Tableau, and build mitigation rules for malicious automated traffic.

Earlier at SecureOps, I led threat hunting, alert triage, incident investigations, SIEM log analysis, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping across client environments. I combine offensive-security knowledge with defensive operations to reduce risk and strengthen customer security posture.
