About

With a background in IT operations and cybersecurity, I've built hands-on skills in vulnerability management, SIEM analysis, PowerShell scripting, and endpoint security. I've worked on incident response, system hardening, and automating remediation workflows — always with a focus on detection and risk reduction. My experience includes working across tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Tenable, ServiceNow, and Bash, giving me a strong foundation in enterprise security environments. I'm open to roles in SOC analysis, vulnerability management, or threat intelligence — with a long-term goal of growing into a senior security engineer. If you're looking for someone who combines an operational mindset with real hands-on security experience — let's connect.
