What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response where I can automate telemetry, improve detections, and collaborate across DevOps and security teams.

I am a CISSP-certified security professional with 15+ years building detection pipelines, threat intelligence, and incident response across hybrid and OT environments. I design and tune SIEM/EDR detections, automate enrichment and response with Python/PowerShell, and apply IaC for secure deployments.

I have led enterprise incident response and threat programs at major organisations, improving detection true-positive rates and reducing triage times through automation and telemetry engineering. I collaborate with DevOps, infrastructure and executive teams to operationalize security controls, develop playbooks, and drive continuous improvement in security posture.
