What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth in cybersecurity, particularly in risk analysis and compliance.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity engineer with a strong foundation in IT risk management and a passion for enhancing security protocols. My experience includes managing risk reporting and presenting findings to senior management, which has honed my analytical and communication skills. I thrive in environments where I can contribute to internal and external security audits, ensuring compliance with standards such as ISO27001 and PCI DSS.

Throughout my career, I have successfully mitigated vulnerabilities, reducing fraud risk by 30% and improving compliance audit scores by 20%. My proactive approach has allowed me to optimize performance and enforce compliance across various platforms. I am committed to continuous learning and currently pursuing my CISM certification to further deepen my expertise in cybersecurity.
