What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role where I can strengthen SOC operations with NIST-aligned controls, run intrusion/penetration testing, and improve incident response—while mentoring teams through hands-on, practical training.

I’m a cybersecurity professional with expertise in network security, intrusion detection, penetration testing, and incident response. I help organizations enhance security, mitigate risks, and implement robust cybersecurity solutions using SOC tools and the NIST framework.

As a cybersecurity trainer, I deliver industry-focused training for CompTIA, EC-Council, Cisco, and Linux certifications. I also provide contract-based security consulting, combining practical, hands-on learning with real-world security measures to counter evolving threats.

I build and lead cybersecurity education initiatives, including founding “DigiDefend (Cyber Cell)” to create awareness and hands-on learning for students. Through workshops, bootcamps, and live simulations of network defenses, I teach ethical hacking, secure systems, and defense mechanisms.

In academia and industry, I design labs, curriculum, and assessments—guiding projects and research while supporting students’ career development in cybersecurity and computer applications. I’m driven by continuous learning, practical problem-solving, and strengthening defenses through rigorous, measurable security practices.
