What I'm looking for

I'm looking to strengthen security programs by combining ISMS and compliance work with hands-on hardening, detection engineering, incident response, and security automation.

At Tangent Technology, I implement ISMS controls across endpoints, servers, and cloud environments aligned with ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type II. I support audits through evidence collection, control validation, and remediation tracking while managing Wazuh SIEM for centralized monitoring, alerting, and incident response investigations.

I've reduced attack surface by 30% through Windows and Linux hardening, and at Cytomate I deployed honeypots and Active Directory deception tactics that reduced mean time to detect by 35%. I also build security automation with PowerShell, develop CTF challenges, and created AGENCY, a real-time intrusion detection and risk analysis tool.
