What I'm looking for

I seek security-focused roles where I can strengthen infrastructure and endpoint defenses, lead incident response and SOAR activities, work with cross-functional teams, and grow in cloud security within an organized, security-first culture.

I am a cybersecurity-focused IT professional with over six years supporting IT infrastructure, systems, and security operations across multinational environments. I specialize in endpoint security, identity and access management, network defense, vulnerability handling, incident triage, and O365 security, and I have delivered first- and second-line security support for 450+ users while improving patching and privilege-management workflows.

I hold a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and certifications including CCNA, MCSA, AWS Cloud Practitioner, and AWS Solutions Architect – Associate. I bring a security-first mindset, strong analytical problem-solving, and proven ability to reduce unauthorized access incidents, harden systems, and document security practices while raising user awareness.
