About

I am an IT & Cloud Security professional with 3 years of experience in technology risk, cloud security, ITGC, and identity governance, with hands-on exposure across Azure, AWS, IAM, and security monitoring. My work sits at the intersection of security engineering, audit, and cloud architecture, helping organizations strengthen controls, implement Zero Trust, and build secure-by-design systems. I have delivered projects in Azure security monitoring (Sentinel + Log Analytics), IAM governance, RBAC least privilege design, and cloud compliance assessments. My background in IT audit allows me to combine technical implementation with a strong understanding of governance, risk, and control frameworks. I am currently building advanced skills toward becoming a Cloud Security Architect, focusing on Azure security, identity architecture, Zero Trust design, cloud threat detection, and secure architecture patterns. I actively pursue certifications and hands-on projects to grow in this direction. Core Skills: Cloud Security (Azure, AWS) | Azure Sentinel | Log Analytics | IAM & Governance | RBAC Design | Zero Trust | Compliance & ITGC | Threat Detection | Security Architecture Fundamentals | Risk Assessment | Automation (PowerShell, Python) Open to roles in Cloud Security, IAM, Security Engineering, Zero Trust Architecture, and Cloud Risk & Compliance. Career Goal: To transition into roles like Cloud Security Engineer, IAM Consultant, or Cloud Architect, where I can apply my skills in cloud infrastructure, risk assessment, and security design to protect enterprise systems. Let’s connect if you're hiring for roles in cloud security, identity governance, or architecture.
