I am a results-driven and detail-oriented Cybersecurity Analyst with over 5 years of hands-on experience in security operations, threat detection, and incident response within enterprise environments. My expertise lies in deploying and managing SIEM, EDR, and SOAR platforms, conducting proactive threat hunting, and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated success in improving SOC maturity, reducing incident response time, and mentoring junior analysts. I am passionate about continuous learning, automation, and operational excellence in cybersecurity, and I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and knowledge.
