I'm a Senior Cyber Security Engineer with over five years of hands-on experience implementing and managing security infrastructure across complex hybrid enterprise environments. I hold the CISSP and bring a deep, practical approach to every engagement.

Currently at the University of the Arts London (UAL), I manage the full breadth of a security estate for 8,000+ users, from CrowdStrike Falcon EDR and Microsoft Sentinel SIEM to vulnerability management, identity governance, and incident response.
