What I'm looking for

I want to keep working in a hands-on SOC environment—monitoring SIEM/EDR detections, investigating phishing and IOCs, and improving incident containment through faster response and better playbooks.

I’ve spent 3+ years in 24×7 Security Operations, monitoring SIEMs and EDR/XDRs and running incident response from triage through escalation. I investigate phishing campaigns, hunt IOCs, and correlate cross-platform logs in enterprise environments using Splunk, LogRhythm, and Stellar Cyber.

At Akati Sekurity (remote, India), I analyze 40–60 alerts daily, lead IOC investigations with CrowdStrike and Stellar Cyber, and document incidents for a knowledge base used by a 20-member SOC team. Earlier at Securepoint Technologies and Wipro, I handled thousands of alerts monthly, escalated confirmed incidents with evidence packages, and helped reduce repeat issues and false positives.
