## About

```text
At Simpaisa, I investigate cloud security alerts, integrate SIEM with AWS CloudTrail and GuardDuty, and create detection rules for AWS and firewall logs. I also configure least-privilege IAM policies and AWS network controls.

Previously, at Cyber Salus, I investigated IoMT security incidents and helped reduce incident remediation time by 35% through automation and refined response techniques. I’ve also worked in network operations and supported security monitoring, vulnerability remediation, and PCI DSS and CIS Controls efforts.
