Cybersecurity Analyst Turned Product Manager | SIEM, Pen Tester, AI-Sec Tools | Securing Digital Products End-to-End
What I'm looking for
Bridging cybersecurity and product strategy to build secure, AI-powered digital products.
With hands-on experience in threat intelligence, penetration testing, SIEM optimization, and security automation, I help organizations shift security left — embedding protection, compliance, and resilience into every stage of product development.
I work at the intersection of security engineering and product design, ensuring that modern products are not just functional, but inherently secure. From reducing attack surfaces and hardening APIs, to driving cross-functional product sprints in Agile teams, I bring both technical depth and strategic clarity to every initiative.
⚙️ Core Strengths:
• AI-Driven Security Automation – Streamlining SOC operations and detection workflows using smart tools
• Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessments – Strengthening systems through ethical hacking
• SIEM Optimization & Threat Response – Tuning alerts and detection strategies for real-world efficiency.
• Product Strategy & Agile Collaboration – Delivering user-first, security-led features that scale
I’m especially passionate about working on security-focused products — platforms that protect users, automate defense, or help developers build with confidence.
📬 Let’s connect if you’re innovating in cybersecurity, secure SaaS platforms, or AI-powered defense systems.
