What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and impactful cybersecurity initiatives.

I am a highly accomplished cybersecurity professional with over five years of hands-on experience in Cyber Protection Team operations, Security Operations Center, and Incident Response. My expertise lies in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities across enterprise networks and host systems. I have a proven track record in conducting cyber threat hunting, forensic analysis, and executing defensive cyber operations. Recently, I achieved the OSCP+ certification with a perfect score and hold an Active Top Secret/SCI clearance with Poly.

In my most recent role as a Cyber Operator at Applied Network Solutions, I continuously enhance my understanding of cyber threat methodologies through active participation in Capture the Flag exercises. I have developed reverse engineering skills by tackling various challenges and have gained practical experience in analyzing encryption algorithms and identifying malicious behaviors. My previous experience as a Senior Purple Team Operator in the United States Air Force allowed me to lead incident response efforts, conduct advanced Purple Team operations, and mentor junior analysts, contributing significantly to the overall cybersecurity objectives.
