What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job where I could use my long-term experience in the field of IT security, with log analysis, but especially where I could use the Splunk system that I have come to love.

Highly skilled IT security professional with over 20 years of experience in SIEM, log management, and security architecture. Proven track record of designing and implementing secure solutions, improving incident response, and leading teams to success.

With a strong background in IT security, I have developed expertise in rapid analysis of complex situations, problem troubleshooting, and creative design solutions. My experience in security hardening, penetration testing, and application testing has enabled me to identify and mitigate potential risks and threats.

I am a certified IT security manager with a strong understanding of security compliance, regulations, and best practices. My technical skills include proficiency in Splunk, ELK, Ansible, and various programming languages.
