Identity and Cloud Security Administrator specializing in Zscaler and Zero Trust.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cybersecurity and Cloud Security professional with 11+ years of experience, specializing in Zscaler and SASE/Zero Trust security. I design, deploy, and operate Zscaler ZIA, ZPA, and ZDX to deliver secure access with optimized user experience for global enterprise environments.
I architect Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) frameworks and implement secure remote access and application segmentation. I also manage advanced security controls such as SSL inspection, URL filtering, DNS security, SSL Cloud Firewall, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Browser Isolation, and threat prevention—alongside identity integrations using SAML, OAuth, and SCIM.
Across my roles, I lead incident response with root cause analysis, packet investigations, and traffic analysis, collaborating with cloud, infrastructure, and security teams to strengthen reliability and security posture. I’ve also built Python automation scripts for log analysis and operational tasks to increase efficiency and reduce manual workload within security operations.
