@smritidewan
I'm a cybersecurity and cloud IT professional securing enterprise systems, automating access operations, and resolving incidents.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting the San Francisco Department of Public Health Office of Cybersecurity, where I monitor, investigate, and remediate MDR/MPR and XDR incidents, closing more than 50 cases per day and escalating confirmed threats.
I review logs and support incident analysis across on-premises and cloud Check Point firewalls. I also manage Active Directory permissions, resolve remote-access requests in ServiceNow, and build PowerShell scripts to automate repetitive access tasks.
Previously, at Chevron's Cyber Chapter, I implemented Azure security policies across more than 220 subscriptions and developed JSON-based remediation scripts for noncompliant virtual machines. I also piloted Desired State Configuration automation alongside cloud and security teams.
Across cybersecurity, network, and field-services work, I troubleshoot connectivity, support endpoint lifecycles, configure workstations, and follow change-management processes. I'm motivated by continuous learning and contributing to organizations that value security, innovation, and operational excellence.
