What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity/SOC role where I can build and automate detection workflows—using SIEM data to speed alert triage, reduce noise, and improve incident response outcomes with measurable impact.

I’m a cybersecurity-focused software engineering graduate and SOC Analyst Intern at KPMG, where I monitor and investigate 100+ security alerts daily using Wazuh and Splunk. I document IOCs, escalate incidents through SOC runbooks, and manage ticket resolution across L1/L2/L3 while staying on SLA.

My biggest impact is AutoSOC—an AI-powered, production-grade SOC platform I built and presented to KPMG Advisory. It processes 40,000+ endpoint events per cycle with 99.98% noise reduction, fully automated L1/L2/L3 escalation, and 100% report generation uptime.

AutoSOC also cut mean time to ticket (MTTT) from 15+ minutes to under 60 seconds for Critical/High incidents by eliminating manual triage for benign events. I add structure and speed to incident response by generating reports in under 5 seconds per ticket with Groq LLM and a deterministic fallback.

Before KPMG, I built cloud-native back-office interfaces and an AI menu conversion pipeline for a POS platform using AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge, reducing onboarding time by ~60%. I’ve also performed vulnerability assessments across 3+ internal systems, resolved 5+ critical security issues, and stay hands-on with Linux, networking, and incident fundamentals.
