What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a cybersecurity operations role where I can monitor threats, lead incident response, strengthen vulnerability management, and apply my cyber law and digital-evidence background to reduce organisational risk.

At Smart Computers, I monitor enterprise SIEM alerts, triage threats, and lead incident response for malware, phishing, and unauthorised-access cases. I take incidents from containment and eradication through root-cause analysis, remediation, and evidentiary handling.

I combine cybersecurity operations with an LLB background in cyber law, data privacy, and digital evidence. My work spans threat hunting, vulnerability management, endpoint and network security, and advising on legal risk, breach notification, and chain of custody.
