What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated Cyber Security Specialist with a strong background in safeguarding networks and systems. My experience includes performing regular reviews of user access rights, conducting vulnerability assessments, and implementing advanced threat detection systems. I pride myself on my analytical thinking and ability to adapt to changing requirements, which has allowed me to deliver results in high-pressure environments.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with teams to enhance network security and improve incident response times. My role at Ombra Group LLC involved analyzing security incidents and developing cybersecurity playbooks, which significantly reduced the risk of cyber-attacks. I have also gained valuable experience in business solutions technology during my time at Oracle Corporation, where I explored AI/ML and data analytics.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Technology and multiple certifications in cybersecurity and networking, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and security.
