What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on security roles focused on cloud and network protection, automation, incident response, and collaborative, compliance-driven teams that value measurable security improvements.

I am a Cyber Security Engineer with over four years' experience securing multi-cloud and enterprise network environments, implementing SIEM solutions, and managing vulnerability programs to meet CIS, NIST, and ISO 27001 standards. I have driven measurable improvements in security posture—reducing incidents, remediating critical vulnerabilities, and increasing availability—through firewall optimization, network segmentation, and automation.

I bring hands-on expertise with AWS, Azure, GCP, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco, and SIEM tools such as Datadog, Wazuh, and ELK, combined with strong incident response, root cause analysis, and project delivery skills. I am committed to building resilient, scalable, and compliant systems while collaborating across teams to reduce risk and streamline security operations.
