Security Engineer driving multi-cloud security with automation and SIEM engineering.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Security Engineer with 2+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud Security, Blue Team operations, and Security Engineering. I strengthen cloud security posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP by building security automations and optimizing detection and response through SIEM engineering.
I’ve helped reduce incident response times from hours to minutes by improving alert fidelity and decreasing analyst workload. I built an AI-driven phishing analysis automation that reduced email triage time from hours to minutes, and I integrated AI-based analysis (AWS Bedrock + DeepSeek) into ticket workflows to speed triage decisions with contextual recommendations.
In daily SOC work, I manage SIEM operations, including alert triage, log analysis, detection rule tuning, incident reporting, and threat hunting. I also developed over 30 custom SIEM use cases and tuned log parsing to reduce false positives, while automating SOC ticket enrichment using threat intelligence sources like AbuseIPDB and VirusTotal.
I care about secure-by-design across the full security lifecycle, from identity to endpoint and governance. I’ve supported ISO 27001, SOC 2, and Cyber Essentials compliance with control implementation and audit evidence, managed IAM via Okta and Google Workspace, improved CSPM on AWS, administered MDM platforms, and even built a full-scale VPN solution from the ground up—plus ongoing vulnerability-focused research through bug bounty work.
