What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on incident response, SIEM tuning, vulnerability management, and collaborative teams that prioritize security, continuous learning, and measurable impact.

I am a detail-oriented Cybersecurity Analyst with over 2 years of hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and digital forensics, focused on reducing vulnerabilities and improving organizational security posture. I have implemented endpoint protection, optimized SIEM configurations, conducted vulnerability assessments, and developed incident playbooks that measurably improved detection accuracy and reduced response times.

I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to implement access controls, multi-factor authentication, and secure password policies while delivering cybersecurity awareness training. My work has driven quantifiable improvements — including reduced malware infections, fewer false positives, faster recovery times, and stronger compliance — and I am passionate about leveraging technology to safeguard critical assets and enable secure operations.
