Summary

Security engineer with nine years spanning SOC analysis, detection engineering, and cloud security for financial and federal-sector employers. Owns detection and response tooling covering 3,200 endpoints and 40 AWS accounts, where custom Splunk pipelines and CrowdStrike automation cut median containment time from 4 hours to 35 minutes. Led the technical workstream for a SOC 2 Type II program that passed its first audit with zero exceptions. Writes Terraform as readily as detection logic, and briefs auditors, executives, and engineers in their own language.
