About Me

I am an Information Security professional with over eight years of experience in endpoint protection, threat investigation, and enterprise security operations. My career has focused on defending systems from malware, ransomware, and advanced threats while supporting governance, risk management, and compliance initiatives.

I have hands-on experience in security monitoring, incident investigation, endpoint security management, and security KPI reporting. I am currently preparing for the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification to deepen my expertise in security auditing, risk assessment, and compliance management aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 frameworks.
