I hold several professional certifications, such as CISSP, GCIA, and GCIH, that attest to my proficiency and knowledge in the field.My core competencies include developing, executing, and evaluating computer and network defense strategies, briefing senior leadership on cyber threats, collaborating with law enforcement and federal agencies, and leading and coaching teams of security engineers and analysts. I also have hands-on experience in intrusion analysis, incident response management, digital and network forensics, risk assessments, system and network auditing, and penetration testing. I use various programming languages, such as Python, BASH Scripting, and PowerShell Scripting, to automate and enhance security processes and tools.
