My hands-on experience includes resolving over 1500 security incidents and designing automated response playbooks that significantly reduced manual intervention. I am passionate about applying my technical knowledge to tackle real-world cybersecurity challenges.

During my internships, I successfully configured Microsoft Sentinel as a central security hub and optimized Microsoft Defender to reduce phishing attempts by 30%. I have actively participated in vulnerability assessments and conducted awareness sessions to help clients prepare for cyber threats. My commitment to continuous learning drives me to enhance my skills and contribute to the cybersecurity field.
