Message

At Espire Infolabs, I provide 24/7 security monitoring, alert triage, investigations, and incident response across endpoints, AWS infrastructure, and proprietary applications. I manage incidents through ServiceNow, apply NIST guidelines, and map findings to MITRE ATT&CK.

Previously, I worked in SOC roles at Netlink Voice and Nuspire, investigating security events and supporting detection improvements. My earlier network engineering work at SNP TRANSFORMATIONS, INC. and Concentrix covered enterprise network and security infrastructure, including Cisco and Fortinet equipment.
