What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior cybersecurity role focused on vulnerability management, Zero Trust, incident response and compliance in a collaborative, mission-driven organization that values measurable security outcomes and professional growth.

I am a results-driven IT security professional with a decade of hands-on experience protecting enterprise environments. I specialize in vulnerability management, Zero Trust architecture, and deploying enterprise security controls.

I have implemented and managed solutions such as Pentera ASV, Fidelis NDR, Forcepoint DLP, ARCON PAM, Tenable Nessus and F5 WAF, improving remediation times by 30% and reducing false positives by 20%. I routinely map controls to NIST CSF and ISO 27001, lead compliance reviews and audits, and present technical findings clearly to both technical and executive stakeholders.

I lead incident response and root-cause investigations using the MITRE ATT&CK framework and maintain risk registers aligned to ISO 31000. I seek to deliver pragmatic, measurable security improvements while collaborating across teams to support business objectives.
