What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security operations role focusing on SIEM/SOAR, incident response, and threat detection within collaborative teams that value proactive defense and continuous improvement.

I am a Security Engineer with 4+ years in security operations across enterprise cloud and on-premises environments, experienced in SIEM (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), SOAR automation, incident response, threat hunting, and vulnerability management. I hold Azure Security Engineer (AZ-500) and ISO 27001 Internal Auditor certifications and have driven measurable improvements in detection, response times, and vulnerability remediation.

At Emcali and Michael Page I developed detections aligned to MITRE ATT&CK, created SOAR playbooks using Azure Logic Apps, conducted hypothesis-driven threat hunting, and led incident response that reduced resolution time and diminished false positives. I combine technical rigor, cross-functional collaboration, and systems thinking to harden infrastructure and operationalize security at scale.
