What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging and growth-oriented role in Cybersecurity, with a focus on Cloud Security, Application Security, or DevSecOps. I want to work in an environment where I can apply my hands-on experience in threat modeling, security automation, and compliance (GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS)

I am a Cyber Security Engineer with over 3 years of professional experience in application security, threat modeling, and vulnerability management within enterprise environments. At Infosys, I worked independently on multiple security projects, including application validation, security automation, and threat modeling using tools like IriusRisk, Fortify, Qualys, and Splunk. I have hands-on experience in automating security checks with Python, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub), and ensuring compliance with GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, and CIS Controls.

I have led incident response activities, conducted digital forensics, and provided security guidance to cross-functional teams. My skill set also includes network security (CCNA knowledge), manual and automated vulnerability assessments, and working with cloud platforms like AWS and tools such as Black Duck and Prisma Cloud.

I’m actively looking for roles in Cloud Security, Application Security, or DevSecOps across Canada where I can apply my technical expertise and continue to grow in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
