What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 15 years of experience in the field of Cyber Security, I am a results-driven leader specializing in Cyber Security Operations. My expertise lies in enterprise SIEM implementation and IT security operations management, where I excel in architecting and optimizing Splunk/XDR environments. I have a proven track record of developing automated security workflows and leading cross-functional teams to enhance security measures.

Currently, I spearhead XDR/SIEM initiatives with a strong focus on Attack Surface Management, Threat Intelligence, and Cloud security. My role involves driving comprehensive cyber security solutions that effectively mitigate risks and protect organizations against advanced threats. I have successfully designed distributed Splunk/XDR environments, ensuring 99.9% uptime, and have accelerated data onboarding processes significantly through the implementation of Splunk add-ons and apps.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with diverse teams to integrate data sources with SIEM, developed customized use cases for detection and response, and disseminated actionable Threat Advisories based on the latest cyber trends. My commitment to maintaining a proactive stance in organizational defense strategies has been recognized through successful audits and assessments with zero findings for consecutive years.
