Security operations, incident response, certification notes, and home lab writing from the path between hands-on defense and security leadership.

About Me

I work in security operations with a focus on threat management, incident response, and practical ways to make security work repeatable.

Security Operations

I have worked in security operations since 2018 across MSSP and healthcare environments. My experience includes incident response, threat hunting, account compromise investigations, malware forensics, zero-day reviews, third-party breach analysis, and detection tuning.

Technical to Leadership

I am building toward security leadership by pairing hands-on technical work with governance, audit readiness, repeatable process, and risk communication. The long-term goal is to keep the technical edge while growing into broader security decision-making.
