What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in cybersecurity.

I am an Informatic Engineer with over five years of experience in IT general support and three years specifically in Application Security. My expertise lies in integrating security tools into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) through Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, which enhances DevSecOps practices. I work closely with development teams to tailor security tools to specific environments and assist in resolving vulnerabilities effectively.

Currently, as an Application Security Engineer at Emerson, I conduct comprehensive security assessments for both web and desktop applications, utilizing techniques such as source code analysis (SAST), dynamic testing (DAST), and open-source scanning (SCA). My role involves automating security scans and reporting, ensuring that security measures are seamlessly integrated into the development process. I have also contributed to defining the SDLC Framework in alignment with industry standards, reinforcing the security posture of the organization.
