Summary

As a success-driven Senior Cybersecurity Analyst with 3 years of experience in data solutions, reporting, and technical analysis, I specialize in turning complex systems into clear, actionable insights. I thrive in high-pressure environments and have a proven ability to bridge technical and non-technical teams to support smarter, data-informed decisions.

I’ve led multi-stakeholder projects, automated QA processes, and embedded cybersecurity best practices into data operations—most recently helping reduce post-deployment incidents by 30% and ensuring zero vulnerabilities during key system upgrades.

Skilled in SQL, Oracle, Linux, and data performance analysis, I’ve built and maintained technical documentation, monitored systems across teams, and proactively solved problems that directly impacted operational stability. My ability to simplify complexity, collaborate cross-functionally, and continuously learn has made me a trusted resource in every team I join.

Currently deepening my skillset through the Google Data Analytics and Harvard CS50 programs, I’m passionate about growing in roles that combine technical problem-solving with business value.

Let’s connect, collaborate, or explore how I can support your data-driven goals. Whether you're seeking consulting services, project support, or a fresh analytical perspective—I'm open to new opportunities and conversations.

Work History

Senior Technical Analyst

Tjene, ON
Toronto, Ontario
04.2022 - 06.2024
  • Led application installations and upgrades in SQL and Java correctly implementing the high
    availability model and disaster recovery planning techniques (i.e. data backups and multiple
    destinations for data preservation).
  • Correctly used the software composition analysis (SCA) model to merge data by identifying the risks
    and vulnerabilities and correctly upgrading the environment while keeping all customizations.
  • Successfully resolved user support and system maintenance tickets using the JIRA system based on
    severity (i.e. system outage) and priority level (i.e. planned application upgrades for client
    environments vs. internal upgrades).
  • Collaborated closely with developers throughout the software development lifecycle to integrate
    security scans. In doing this, we were able to identify, manage and effectively mediate vulnerabilities before deployment and ensure security compliance during release cycles.
  • Initiated the creation of technical documentation across the server team, cutting months of onboarding time for new engineers and ensuring consistent compliance with regulatory standards.
