Cybersecurity Analyst  |  GRC  |  Security Engineer

Finding and fixing vulnerabilities before they become problems. I genuinely enjoy the challenge — every day brings something new, whether it is a fresh threat vector, a tricky misconfiguration, or a zero-day that keeps everyone on their toes.

  • Built and rolled out an Incident Response Plan that cut response time by 25% — ensured full HIPAA compliance throughout.
  • Hunted for weaknesses using Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet. Prioritized fixes based on actual risk, not just severity scores.
  • Worked with our MSSP to tighten threat detection — reduced time between an alert firing and someone actually looking at it.
  • Wrote security reports for senior leadership translating findings into clear action items — backed by real data, not guesswork.
  • Kept controls aligned with NIST CSF and HIPAA, updated playbooks whenever new threat intel changed how we should respond.

COMPLETED
  • Applied OWASP SAMM and STRIDE threat modeling — eye-opening how many risks exist before code gets to production.
  • Ran SAST/DAST scans using Snyk and Veracode — flagged 15+ vulnerabilities the dev team had not caught.
  • Used Burp Suite to test web apps manually and enforced OWASP Secure Coding Guidelines through code reviews.
  • Scanned systems with Nessus, documented findings clearly, and followed up to make sure fixes were actually applied.

  • Monitored network traffic using Wireshark and Nmap — spotted 8+ anomalies that turned into real findings.
  • Supported Cisco ISE deployment for identity-based access control — identity is one of the most critical security layers.
  • Set up Splunk dashboards so the team had real-time visibility instead of chasing logs manually.
  • Supported incident response, enforced security policies, and trained teammates on security tools.
