What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role focused on incident response, cloud and identity security, collaborative SOC environments, tooling-driven detection, and opportunities to lead detection and remediation efforts.

I am a Senior Cyber Security Engineer with extensive experience leading incident response, security operations, and enterprise EDR transitions across large-scale environments. I have implemented MDR/IR responder services, built detection use cases mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and managed EDR migrations for tens of thousands of endpoints.

I architect and operate Microsoft security stacks including Entra ID, Defender, Intune, and associated security and compliance portals, and I have implemented Conditional Access, MFA, SSO, and PIM to strengthen authentication and identity protection. I also build Splunk dashboards and Rapid7 InsightVM dashboards to improve detection, vulnerability tracking, and cross-team coordination.

I bring a hands-on, audit-ready approach to security, supporting NIST CSF and ISO frameworks, coordinating forensic investigations, and restoring systems after ransomware events. I am driven to reduce risk through tooling, automation, and collaborative incident response processes.
