What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level security role focused on cloud security, automation, and incident response with opportunities to improve detection, reduce MTTR, and support compliance.

I am a cybersecurity professional with 4+ years securing cloud and on-prem environments across AWS, GCP, and hybrid infrastructures. I design automated incident response frameworks and build detection pipelines that reduce manual workload and improve response SLAs.

I have led phishing simulation campaigns, employee training programs, and compliance efforts (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) that measurably improved organizational security posture and reduced user susceptibility. I implement infrastructure-as-code and hardening using Terraform, IAM policies, and cloud-native controls.

My hands-on experience spans SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, and DevSecOps automation using Python, PowerShell, Docker, and CI/CD tools. I focus on pragmatic, measurable security outcomes—reducing MTTR, improving MTTD, and driving audit readiness.
