Cyber Automation Engineer at North Dakota IT specializing in SOAR, incident response, and threat detection. I build automated security solutions that reduce alert fatigue and improve response times.

Current Focus: Building agentic SOC assistants with LLMs, container security tools, and SOAR playbook automation.

• Developed Python scripts to automate security tasks, reducing MTTR by 30%
• Monitored 10+ EDR alerts weekly, lowering false positives by 20%
• Built SOAR playbooks that reduced alert fatigue by 45%
• Used SPL/XQL queries on Splunk/Cortex XSIAM, improving threat detection by 20%

• Performed security design reviews on SaaS infrastructure to validate security measures put in place
• Translated security vulnerabilities into business impact through presentations for non-technical stakeholders
• Tuned detection rules in cloud SIEMs to increase visibility across cloud assets and built playbooks for faster alert triage

• Built APIs for security telemetry across 5,000+ assets
• Created CI/CD pipeline, reducing deployment time from 10 to 4 hours
• Led vulnerability remediation, utlizing the asset inventory tool to reduce vulnerability backlog

• Built Django backend integrations with MySQL databases
• Automated deployments using Fabric and Ansible
