What I Specialize In

8+ years building and defending enterprise infrastructure. Here's where I add the most value.

[ 01 ]

Cloud & Hybrid Architecture

Designing secure, high-performance infrastructure across on-premises and multi-cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP) environments, built to stay reliable under load.

[ 02 ]

Firewall & Zero Trust

Deploying next-gen firewalls, ZTNA, and SASE to enforce least-privilege access for remote and on-site users without slowing anyone down.

[ 03 ]

Threat Detection & Response

Running SIEM and centralized security analytics, with AI-assisted alert triage to catch real threats faster and cut manual noise.

[ 04 ]

Identity & Endpoint Security

Implementing MFA, RBAC, and endpoint/email protection to close off the most common paths attackers use to get in.

[ 05 ]

Network Design & Resilience

Architecting LAN/WAN/data-center networks and disaster-recovery sites built from scratch for real business continuity, not just paperwork.

[ 06 ]

Security Assessment

Evaluating an organization's security posture against best practices and industry standards, then recommending practical improvements.
