What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can secure enterprise Microsoft environments end-to-end—IAM with Entra ID, incident readiness, and security operations—while simplifying operations through automation and maintaining compliance and system integrity.

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst and IT Systems Engineer designing, securing, and supporting enterprise Microsoft environments across Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Active Directory, endpoint management, and cloud infrastructure.

I strengthen identity and access with IAM best practices—RBAC, MFA, Conditional Access, least privilege, and Zero Trust principles—while pairing security operations with automation using PowerShell and reliable enterprise SaaS administration.

In my recent role, I administer identity and access controls in cloud-hosted applications, support application security across the development lifecycle, and improve incident readiness through documented escalation procedures and access review findings. Earlier, I investigated phishing, malware, and endpoint security incidents, validated vulnerability remediation, and helped drive high reliability through proactive monitoring, documentation, and continuous operational improvements.
