Cybersecurity professional securing cloud and SOC operations with SIEM/SOAR automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven cybersecurity professional with 5+ years of experience securing enterprise environments across cloud, endpoint, identity, and network infrastructures in regulated industries. I focus on building scalable, compliant security controls aligned with NIST, ISO 27001, SOX, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
As a Security Analyst at Bank Of America, I monitor and analyze security events across SIEM and endpoint/network signals, conduct vulnerability and incident investigations, and strengthen identity access controls using Active Directory and Okta. I’ve reduced security incident response time by 32% through proactive monitoring and alert prioritization, and improved phishing detection and endpoint protection effectiveness by 25% through continuous monitoring and threat intelligence.
Previously at IBM, I configured and optimized AWS security controls and integrated DLP into Microsoft Sentinel with SOAR playbooks, improving incident triage efficiency by 40%. I also developed PowerShell automation for audit evidence collection—cutting audit preparation time by 40%—and supported remediation initiatives using Qualys and Tenable, reducing high-risk findings by 28%.
