Descripción

Security Operations Consultant with over seven years of experience keeping diverse environments—from legacy data centers to the cloud—locked down and running smoothly. My approach isn’t just about putting out fires, it’s about building the procedures, the infrastructure and the automation that prevents them in the first place.

What I bring to the table:

• SecOps & Incident Response: I have extensive experience investigating alerts and managing threats across EDR, SIEM, SOAR and firewall platforms.

• Building & Documenting: I don't just build and fix things, I write the "how-to" guides, incident response workflows, security policies and playbooks, so the whole team gets faster and the company compliant.

• Automation: If a task is boring and repetitive, I’ll probably write a Python script or use any means required to automate it. I’m getting into Infrastructure as Code and making life easier through tooling.

• Deep Dives: I have an interest for malware—my Master’s thesis was focused on how ransomware behaves and spreads.

I’m detail-oriented, deeply organized, and I’m always learning because the field never stops moving. Nothing is totally secure, everything can be exploited.

My Next Step: While I’m still hands-on engineer, my current focus is on bridging the gap between technical operations and global standards. I am actively working towards becoming a Certified ISO 27001 Lead Implementer to help organizations build security frameworks that are as strategically sound as they are technically robust.
