DLP Functional Administrator

Profile

Data Loss Prevention specialist with five years in security operations at Societe Generale. Three years as an L1 DLP Analyst taught me to read an alert and tell signal from noise; as a DLP Functional Administrator I now sit on the other side of that, owning policy configuration, rule logic, and the day-to-day health of the platform. Alongside that, I build my own things in Python and on the web — day to day that means working with APIs in Python and leaning on AI coding tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot, which is where most of my curiosity goes lately. Before security I worked live sound — where I learned to stay calm when something breaks in front of an audience.
