Threat Intelligence Engineer at NetSense CyberSecurity, automating IOC processing and detection rule deployment with Python and Ansible.

India

Message

At NetSense CyberSecurity Private Limited, I monitor network traffic, alerts, and telemetry through Suricata IDS/IPS and SIEM tooling, while handling and enriching indicators of compromise. I also author and tune detection rules, automating their rollout with Python and Ansible.

I track threat actor behavior and campaigns against MITRE ATT&CK, and integrate internal and external intelligence feeds to expand detection coverage and inform threat hunting.

Previously, as a Security Engineer (Freelance) at Eyesec Cyber Security Solutions Pvt. Ltd., I led 150+ penetration testing and vulnerability assessment engagements across web, network, and cloud environments. I delivered CVSS-prioritized reports, briefings, and security workshops.

My projects include a Wazuh and Azure Sentinel detection lab with custom MITRE ATT&CK-mapped rules and automated response playbooks, plus a Python port scanner with NVD API integration and CVE lookup. I'm also a Top 1% global TryHackMe participant, and my secure file-sharing platform was a national hackathon winner.
