@aneeshamohan
Cybersecurity specialist skilled in threat detection, incident response, and SIEM-driven defense.
What I'm looking for
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.
