What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a forward-thinking company that values security innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 10 years of hands-on experience in Security Operations, I specialize in Application Security, detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, and digital forensics. My expertise lies in leveraging data science and analytics for insider threat detection and mitigation, ensuring robust security measures are in place to protect sensitive information.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led security initiatives that significantly reduced vulnerabilities and enhanced compliance with industry standards such as NIST, FedRAMP, and ISO 27001. I am proficient in various security tools and technologies, including AWS services, Python, and SQL, and have a proven track record of automating security detection and response processes to improve efficiency and accuracy.

I am a self-driven problem-solver who thrives under pressure, demonstrating strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize effectively. My collaborative approach allows me to work seamlessly with cross-functional teams to integrate security into the development lifecycle, fostering a culture of security awareness and proactive risk management.
