About Candidate
My professional plan is to leverage my comprehensive background in Network Security, Splunk, Tenable, and ISO 27001 GRC to transition into a highly specialized Security Engineer role, ideally with a focus on Azure Cloud Security.
In the short term, I aim to utilize my hands-on experience with Palo Alto/Fortinet, XDR, and vulnerability management to help an organization enhance its security posture and mature its compliance processes. My mid-term goal is to move into a Security Architect position where I can define and implement strategic security blueprints, connecting the technical dots between cloud, network, and compliance.
I seek your assistance in identifying roles that value my combination of infrastructure foundation and specialized security tools/frameworks, as these opportunities represent the fastest path to achieving my Architect-level ambition.
