What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in application security, offers opportunities for growth, and fosters a collaborative environment focused on innovative security solutions.

I am a Senior Application Security Analyst with over 3 years of dedicated experience in enhancing security protocols through the implementation of Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). My expertise lies in conducting vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, as well as managing WAF configurations and cloud security benchmarks. I have successfully generated actionable security reports and facilitated training programs to elevate security awareness across teams, adding significant value to organizational security initiatives.

In my current role at CureMD, I spearheaded the implementation of a Secure SDLC, overseeing Cloudflare monitoring and management, including WAF configurations and custom rules. I have conducted thorough vulnerability assessments of web applications, APIs, and networks, ensuring compliance with industry security standards. My experience also includes executing AWS and Azure CIS Benchmarking audits to uphold cloud security best practices and diagnosing compromised servers to implement effective recovery actions.

My commitment to fostering a proactive security environment is reflected in my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, generate clear security reports, and formulate innovative solutions for identified vulnerabilities. I am passionate about leveraging advanced security tools and automation techniques to enhance overall security posture and streamline operational processes.
