What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my cybersecurity skills while contributing to a team focused on proactive security measures and innovative solutions.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity engineer currently serving as a Threat Response Engineer at Trend Micro. My expertise lies in threat detection, intrusion prevention, and vulnerability analysis, where I have successfully built and tested security rules against public CVEs using real-world exploits. My academic background in computer engineering, coupled with my certifications from AWS, Microsoft, Cisco, and others, has equipped me with a solid foundation in cybersecurity.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to enhancing enterprise security posture through proactive defense and automation. At Trend Micro, I have contributed significantly to the Intrusion Prevention System module, analyzing attack patterns and developing rules to effectively block malicious traffic. My role involves performing quality analysis to ensure comprehensive coverage of attack scenarios and maintaining accurate documentation for each CVE. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to help organizations mitigate security risks and improve their overall security framework.
