I’m an Information Systems Security Engineer/SOC Analyst who thrives on turning security signals into actionable outcomes. I investigate IOCs across multiple systems using CrowdStrike and support the incident response lifecycle from detection through resolution.

I design and improve SOC workflows for compliance auditing and vulnerability management, and I tune security controls to reduce false positives and misconfigurations. I monitor with Palo Alto and IDS/IPS, analyze firewall/IDS/IPS logs, and coordinate corrective actions with CIRT and other IT teams.

My impact includes using Tenable (Nessus) and Rapid7 to reduce enterprise vulnerability by 95%, while guiding patch teams with remediation plans and processes. I also create and maintain SOPs, run books, and technical documentation, and I train and mentor mid-level and junior analysts.

I bring strong operational discipline: 24x7 SIEM event monitoring, ticket management with ServiceNow, deep-dive network hunting, and digital evidence handling for recorded, tracked incidents. I’m comfortable working with threat intelligence, triaging alerts, and escalating critical tickets when needed.
