Who I Am

A cyber security professional bridging technical depth with practical enterprise security operations.

I'm a Cyber Security Analyst and MSc candidate at the University of the West of Scotland, specialising in blue-team operations, threat detection, and vulnerability management across hybrid enterprise environments.

Proficient in SIEM platforms (Splunk), vulnerability tools including Nessus and Qualys CSAM, and security frameworks including NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Benchmarks and MITRE ATT&CK.

Reduced organisational vulnerabilities by 20% through structured vulnerability management — directly remediating 100+ security issues across professional engagements.
