What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Security Analyst with over 6 years of experience in the field of cybersecurity, focusing on cloud security, vulnerability management, and web application security.

I have a deep understanding of the OWASP Top 10 and common web attack vectors, which enables me to effectively safeguard applications against potential threats.
Throughout my career, I have successfully architected secure network zoning and implemented zero-trust network principles for clients like Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Börse. My role at Accenture has allowed me to leverage advanced tools like Prisma Cloud and Terraform to automate security processes and enhance compliance. I am passionate about collaborating with DevOps teams to integrate security measures into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that security is a fundamental aspect of the development process.
My commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in my proactive approach to identifying and remediating vulnerabilities. I believe in the importance of fostering a culture of security awareness and collaboration across teams to effectively address security challenges.
