I’m a cloud security and IAM specialist delivering Zero Trust and hardened infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud Security and Infrastructure professional with 6+ years of enterprise ICT security experience across cloud infrastructure, Linux administration, identity and access management (IAM), and security operations. I’ve implemented Zero Trust controls, vulnerability management, incident response, infrastructure hardening, and threat modelling across hybrid environments, with governance-driven security operations supported by Azure and AWS tooling.
In my current role as Principal ICT Officer (Security & Operations Lead), I lead enterprise ICT for 1,000+ users and deliver 99.9% uptime while enforcing ISO 27001-aligned security governance, IAM with Conditional Access and MFA, and privileged access governance. I also drive measurable outcomes—30% reduction in cyber incidents and 40% faster incident resolution via ITIL-based processes—and I translate security requirements into practical SOC processes, monitoring, and escalation workflows.
