What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role where I can lead vulnerability management, automate security workflows, and perform incident response within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a cybersecurity professional focused on vulnerability management, threat analysis, and automation to reduce organizational risk. I provide technical analysis across physical and cloud infrastructure and deliver clear, actionable reports to stakeholders.

I have built processes for risk prioritization and remediation, scoped penetration tests by enumerating public assets, and performed active threat research to keep detections current. I also automate tooling and workflows using Python and PowerShell to improve efficiency.

My hands-on experience includes endpoint monitoring, incident response, malware analysis, Azure security policy management, backup system administration, and training users and administrators. I hold a Bachelor's in Cyber Defense and certifications including PJPT and CompTIA Security+.
