What I'm looking for

I seek a senior SOC or cloud security role where I can lead threat detection, incident response, and mentor teams while improving cloud/hybrid security posture.

I am a Senior Cyber Security Analyst with five years of hands-on experience in SIEM management, incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability management. I have led SOC monitoring and threat intelligence operations across cloud and hybrid environments using tools such as Azure Sentinel, Splunk, and QRadar, and I apply frameworks like NIST and MITRE ATT&CK to improve security posture.

I specialize in cloud security (AWS, Azure), container security, endpoint protection, and automation with Python, PowerShell and KQL, and I have delivered measurable improvements through vulnerability management, forensic investigations, and SOC playbook development. I collaborate cross-functionally, mentor junior analysts, and focus on proactive threat hunting and compliance (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR) to strengthen organizational resilience.
