With 19 + years of extensive experience in the fields of Information Security (InforSec) and IT Infrastructure Operation, I am a seasoned professional who has dedicated my career to safeguarding and optimizing digital environments. Throughout my journey, I have honed my expertise in designing, implementing, and managing robust security measures and efficient IT infrastructure to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical assets.

My passion for information security and technology began early in my career, and I have since worked with diverse organizations, ranging from startups to multinational corporations. As an InforSec specialist, I have been at the forefront of defending against cyber threats, identifying vulnerabilities, and conducting thorough risk assessments to develop comprehensive security strategies. My knowledge of industry best practices, compliance standards, and cutting-edge technologies has allowed me to adapt to ever-evolving security challenges successfully.

In addition to my focus on cybersecurity, I have taken on leadership roles in IT Infrastructure Operations. As a lead, I have led cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration and synergy to deliver seamless IT services to internal and external stakeholders. My goal has always been to optimize infrastructure performance, minimize downtime, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
