My expertise lies in enhancing threat detection, troubleshooting complex security issues, and developing robust policies to strengthen security frameworks. I am eager to apply my technical expertise and problem-solving skills to contribute to a dynamic and secure organizational environment.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams and projects that improved security operations and incident response times. My proficiency in tools such as RSA NetWitness, AlienVault, and ArcSight SIEM has enabled me to effectively monitor security events and mitigate risks. I am committed to continuous improvement and collaboration, ensuring that security measures are not only implemented but also optimized for evolving threats.
