What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

As a dedicated Security Engineer with over four years of experience, I thrive on tackling new challenges and enjoy working on complex projects. My expertise lies in securing endpoints and systems, managing SIEM, and enforcing compliance and security policies. I have a strong background in vulnerability management, patch management, and incident response, which allows me to effectively enhance security measures across various platforms.

Currently, I am focused on utilizing Microsoft security platforms to support Governance and Compliance, Identity and Access Management, and Endpoint Security Management. My analytical skills enable me to evaluate and prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk severity, ensuring that our systems remain secure against potential threats. I am committed to continuous improvement and regularly document security breach incidents to refine our response strategies.
