As a part of building up my professional career, I have went through different phases & fields within the Information Technology umbrella; most of which can be found summarized in my professional experience branch. I enjoy digging up new things, being a fast learner, and have developed an acute sense of information security analysis. Currently working as a full blown consultant, I have the ability to actively identify and manage any risk associated to operational processes and improve the effectiveness of internal controls. Very experienced in common security tools, utilities and applications; solid Penetration Testing performer with good knowledge of intrusion and prevention systems, firewalls and anti-malware solutions. Skilled Project Manager with the ability to obtain project requirements and implement solutions that support business objectives and meet strategic and financial goals. Currently focused on general Information Security Consultancy and complete Business Continuity Management (BCM) solutions where aligning business expectations of security with technical possibilities and constraints in a mostly outsourced environment is of great importance.
