About
I am a detail-oriented Cyber Security Analyst with hands-on experience in network security, threat analysis, and secure infrastructure management. I hold certifications in CompTIA Security+ and ISC2-CC, along with an advanced diploma in Cyber Security from Fanshawe College. With a strong background in incident response, including SIEM systems, IDS/IPS solutions, and malware analysis, I am committed to safeguarding organizational assets through proactive security measures.
In my previous roles, I have gained significant experience in troubleshooting network environments, managing Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and leading phishing simulations to improve security awareness. I have contributed to the development of incident response playbooks, reducing recovery time by 20%, and played a key role in implementing security solutions like the Akamai Kona Web Application Firewall, improving response times by 50%.
My expertise includes using tools such as Splunk, Wireshark, and Cisco Packet Tracer for real-time threat monitoring and analysis, as well as working with various operating systems like Windows and Linux. I excel at working in collaborative, high-pressure environments and continuously seek to improve security protocols to reduce vulnerabilities.
