About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Security Analyst and Vulnerability Management Engineer with over eight years of experience in cybersecurity, governance, risk and compliance, vulnerability management, and security operations across enterprise environments.

I specialize in risk-based vulnerability prioritization, remediation governance, control assessments, audit support, evidence collection, and executive reporting. I work closely with application, infrastructure, cloud, business, vendor, and security stakeholders to reduce risk and improve remediation outcomes.

I have strong hands-on experience with vulnerability management platforms, CMDB reconciliation, security dashboards, SLA tracking, remediation aging analysis, and data quality validation. I use Power BI, Excel, SQL, and Python to transform security data into actionable insights for leadership.

My compliance experience includes supporting programs aligned with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA. I have helped maintain control documentation, validate audit evidence, track remediation activities, and develop compliance metrics and reporting frameworks.

I also bring experience in cloud security, Linux administration, security automation, SIEM monitoring, DLP implementation, incident response, threat hunting, and secure SDLC practices. I am committed to strengthening enterprise security posture through practical governance, technical collaboration, and continuous process improvement.
