SwedenWhat I'm looking for
I am a pre-sales enterprise security engineer with hands-on experience delivering cybersecurity and IT infrastructure solutions across international markets including Australia, New Zealand, Maldives, Sri Lanka and the BFSI sector.

I have led migrations from legacy antivirus to SentinelOne XDR, deployed Veeam data platform to reduce data-loss risk by 80%, and implemented Kaspersky NEXT EDR/XDR and SIEM for clients to reduce MTTD/MTTR. I also drove compliance adoption for ISO/IEC 27001, SWIFT CSP, and PDPA, and improved operational efficiency by migrating clients from Intune to ManageEngine Endpoint Central.
I combine technical troubleshooting, incident response, and pre-sales coordination with vendors and enterprise clients to streamline deployments and strengthen security posture. I am pursuing MSc Computer Science at Stockholm University and hold multiple CompTIA and Kaspersky certifications.
