What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on enterprise cybersecurity role where I can run firewall/SIEM operations, handle multi-site troubleshooting and escalation, and expand security automation with Python—within a team that values governance, resilience, and measurable outcomes.

I’m a Cyber Security Engineer with 2+ years of experience in enterprise security administration, firewall deployment and administration, SIEM deployment and administration, and SOC operations across government and enterprise environments. I work confidently in Hybrid (On-Premises and Cloud) deployments, handling operational troubleshooting, escalation, and end-to-end implementation governance.

In my recent roles, I’ve led enterprise firewall deployment and infrastructure security initiatives using Palo Alto Networks, Check Point VSX/MDS, and centralized management with Panorama. I execute deployment governance for complex multi-site security environments—covering VPN infrastructures, HA availability, routing, IP Sec/SSL VPN configurations, and identity and authentication policy enforcement.

I also support SIEM & monitoring and endpoint/DLP-driven security operations, contributing to Python-based security automation to reduce manual overhead. From hands-on deployments (ForcePoint DLP, Cortex XDR, and security monitoring stacks) to technical internship work building secure backend APIs with authentication and logging, I focus on scalable, resilient security outcomes backed by certifications like CompTIA Security+.
