What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cyber security role where I can lead incident response, threat analysis, and vulnerability assessments, strengthen compliance, and improve detection and response effectiveness with proactive defense strategies.

I am an accomplished Cybersecurity Professional with over eight years of experience safeguarding organizations across finance, healthcare, and technology sectors. I focus on risk management, threat analysis, vulnerability assessment, and system hardening to keep defenses effective as threats evolve.

I have led security programs that reduced incident response time by up to 60%, and I audited and ensured compliance with ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. In recent roles, I monitored activity inside and outside infrastructure, optimized security monitoring tools to reduce false positives, and coordinated incident response and risk remediation activities.

I’ve also designed proactive defense strategies—such as implementing two-factor authentication across critical systems and deploying network segmentation with an advanced IDS system—to reduce unauthorized access attempts. I bring hands-on expertise through ethical hacking trials, vulnerability scans, security patches, and penetration testing using OWASP methodologies, backed by strong reporting and stakeholder communication.
