About

I am a dedicated and highly experienced Information and Network Security professional with over 10 years of hands-on expertise in designing, implementing, and managing secure IT infrastructures. Holding a Master’s degree in Information Security and being CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certified, I possess a solid foundation in security principles, risk management, compliance, and technical controls across complex enterprise environments.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in safeguarding organizational assets against evolving cyber threats by implementing robust network security architectures and enforcing security best practices. My areas of specialization include Network Access Control (NAC), Firewalls, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), IPsec VPNs, and SSL/TLS implementations using OpenSSL. I have successfully deployed and maintained perimeter and internal security solutions across multi-vendor environments, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical systems.

I bring strong experience with leading network and security platforms such as Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, and have implemented advanced access control solutions using Aruba ClearPass to enhance visibility and enforce policies across wired and wireless networks. My knowledge of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has been instrumental in managing digital identities, implementing secure authentication, and ensuring trust in secure communications.

Having worked across diverse industries, I have developed a proactive approach to threat mitigation, incident response, and vulnerability management. I excel in performing security assessments, configuring security appliances, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST.

Collaboration and communication are integral to my working style. I have worked closely with cross-functional teams, vendors, and stakeholders to align security strategies with business objectives. My ability to translate technical risks into business language has helped organizations make informed decisions about cybersecurity investments and risk mitigation.

As a continuous learner in a fast-evolving field, I keep myself updated with the latest cybersecurity trends, emerging technologies, and threat intelligence. I am passionate about building secure, resilient networks and contributing to a culture of security awareness across organizations.

I am now seeking new challenges and opportunities where I can leverage my technical skills, industry knowledge, and strategic mindset to drive enterprise security, ensure regulatory compliance, and enable secure digital transformation.
