What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead incident response, build detection and threat intel programs, mentor teams, and scale security operations with automation and AI.

I am a cybersecurity professional with seven years of experience focused on incident response, threat hunting, malware analysis, and building detection capabilities. I have led detection engineering, threat intelligence programs, and digital forensics efforts to improve organizational security posture.

At recent roles I established threat intelligence and dark web monitoring programs, built SIEM and detection processes, and created malware investigation workflows. I also designed and deployed custom AI agents to scale triage and investigation work and drove detection lifecycles across large rule sets.

I mentor security teams, lead incident response as an incident commander, and continuously improve SOPs and runbooks to enhance proactive hunting and response. I aim to bring pragmatic, scalable defensive strategies and automation to complex security environments.
