Focus: monitoring, detection, posture, readiness, recovery Style: calm, technical, business-clear

How I approach cyber security

Strong programs pair analyst discipline with operator reality: centralized logs, meaningful alerts, honest reporting, and recovery paths that have been thought through before ransomware or outage, not after.

Visibility & detection

See more, miss less

I build and tune visibility across Linux and Windows servers, applications, and infrastructure, using stacks such as OpenSearch, Kibana, Wazuh, QRadar integrations, Prometheus, Alertmanager, and agents like Winlogbeat and Filebeat, so suspicious activity and operational drift surface earlier.

Posture & remediation

From findings to fixes

Pentests and scans are only useful when remediated. I work with technical teams on hardening, control improvements, identity and access discipline, and secure configuration, grounded in what will actually run in your environment.

Resilience & recovery

When prevention is not enough

I bring deep experience with backup validation, replication, failover, failback, and recovery planning (including Veeam-class environments). Cyber security is also continuity: keeping the business standing when something goes wrong.
