What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute hands-on SOC, MDR/XDR, and incident response experience in a security environment where I can investigate threats, strengthen playbooks, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and support repeatable remediation.

At Premier Networx, I monitored and triaged MDR/SOC alerts across SentinelOne, Microsoft 365 Defender, Entra ID, Duo MFA, Pillr, and Blumira, turning high-volume security events into prioritized investigations, documented findings, and practical next steps. I investigate phishing, business email compromise, suspicious authentication, endpoint malware, mailbox rule abuse, and account compromise while supporting containment through endpoint isolation, credential resets, MFA verification, and remediation follow-up.

My Army cyber and network defense experience includes leading a 33-person technical team, coordinating incident response support, and translating technical risk into decision-ready reporting. I bring repeatable playbooks, disciplined escalation, client communication, and 10+ years of cyber, network defense, security operations, and technical leadership experience.
