What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role focused on cloud security, vulnerability management, automation, and incident response, with opportunities to lead improvements and scale defenses.

I am a results-driven cybersecurity analyst with four years of experience in vulnerability management, cloud security, SIEM, and incident response. I specialize in AWS security, DevSecOps automation, IAM, and fine-tuning WAF rules to harden enterprise environments.

At Trellix and previous roles I configured firewalls, IDS/IPS, and endpoint protections, conducted forensic investigations, and developed Python and Bash automation that reduced response time by 30%. I hold a master's in Cyber Security and multiple certifications, and I seek opportunities to scale cloud security, automate defenses, and strengthen organizational risk posture.
