What I'm looking for

I'm targeting Cybersecurity Analyst roles at tech companies where security is taken seriously, with opportunities to strengthen threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, cloud security, and risk reduction.

At Gloucestershire College, I lead security monitoring and incident response across Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and Wazuh, building tuned detections for lateral movement and anomalous logins while driving vulnerability remediation with Nessus.

I've also supported SOC operations, GRC, and vulnerability management at Cybarik, and managed IT infrastructure for 500+ users at UBA Group in a regulated banking environment. With an MSc in Cybersecurity, I bring hands-on threat detection, cloud security across AWS and Azure, and the ability to translate security findings into practical action for technical and non-technical teams.

Operating inside a high-compliance banking environment gave me early grounding in GRC principles, where audit readiness, access governance, and regulatory compliance weren't optional extras but operational requirements. That foundation now directly informs how I approach risk and complia
