Cybersecurity SOC Team Lead specializing in threat hunting, incident response, and SOAR automation for global enterprises.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead SOC investigations, accelerate incident response through automation/SOAR, and strengthen threat hunting—ideally in an environment that values compliance, resilience, and collaboration across cloud and on-premise teams.

I’m a Cybersecurity Professional with 5+ years of experience leading SOC operations, threat hunting, and incident response for global enterprises. I drive investigative excellence across SIEM and EDR/XDR platforms, including Azure Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, and Cybereason—earning recognition for innovation in security automation and investigative outcomes.

As GSOC Team Lead at KPMG, I lead incident investigation and mitigation for global clients, coordinating cross-team response and RCAdocumentation. I investigate high-priority alerts in Azure Sentinel and Microsoft security services (MDE/MDI/AADIP/MCAS/MDCA), isolate threats, initiate remediation with L3 and client teams, and produce KDRs and incident reports for senior management decisions—while streamlining workflows and integrating external intelligence into SOAR via custom IOC scripts. Before that, at UST Global, I delivered 24×7 SOC coverage, performed email and malware analysis, trained new SOC analysts, and helped build automation that improved investigation speed and quality.
