What I'm looking for

I seek a security role focused on threat detection, incident response, SIEM engineering, and AI-driven defense where I can reduce risk, improve response times, and work cross-functionally.

I am a cybersecurity specialist with hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, SIEM operations, fraud detection, and cyber threat hunting. I have applied AI/ML techniques to improve predictive detection and automated response across large-scale environments.

My background includes protecting large user networks, implementing security policies, performing vulnerability assessments and pen testing, and building reproducible data pipelines for research and operational environments. I have designed dashboards and analytics using Splunk, Python, matplotlib, and seaborn to support monitoring and investigations.

I collaborate closely with stakeholders to integrate AI-driven solutions and measure improvements using KPIs — notably contributing to a 40% reduction in incident response time — while maintaining compliance and data integrity in regulated and research settings.
