A fast recruiter view of AJT: role fit, proof, resume, and contact.

I am targeting remote security operations, SOC/MDR, detection analyst, incident response, and AI-assisted security workflow roles. This page pulls the most important hiring evidence into one place.

Recruiter summary

Security operations candidate with leadership depth and hands-on proof.

My strongest fit is with teams that need someone who can investigate alerts, document clearly, tune workflows, understand attacker behavior, and communicate risk without losing operational context.

The portfolio shows practical work across SIEM detection, Linux hardening, phishing response, private AI/RAG workflow design, and controlled lab methodology. My operations background adds the process discipline needed to make those workflows repeatable for a team.
