What I'm looking for

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

I am a detail-oriented and highly analytical Cybersecurity Analyst with over 4 years of progressive experience in security operations, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and threat hunting. My expertise lies in securing hybrid environments through proactive threat detection, technical reporting, and stakeholder engagement. I have a proven ability to manage real-time incidents, implement security controls, and contribute to enterprise security posture improvements.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated hands-on experience with industry-standard tools including Splunk, Rapid7, and various OSINT platforms. I am committed to maintaining compliance with NIST, ISO, and other regulatory frameworks in fast-paced environments. My role at Appnovation Technologies has allowed me to lead daily monitoring and triaging of security events, significantly reducing threat dwell time and enhancing overall security posture.
