What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, emphasizes teamwork, and allows me to leverage my skills in threat detection and incident response.

I am a highly motivated and results-driven SOC Analyst with hands-on experience in Security Operations. My expertise lies in threat detection, incident response, and continuous security monitoring across diverse enterprise environments. I have a proven track record of utilizing SIEM platforms such as IBM QRadar and Splunk for log analysis, alert triage, and use case optimization.

Throughout my career, I have successfully triaged over 1000 monthly alerts, reducing false positives and breach risks significantly. I am well-versed in investigating phishing attacks and performing malware triage, enriching alerts with contextual threat intelligence. My experience extends to working with XDR/EDR solutions, firewalls, and email security gateways, ensuring a robust security posture for the organizations I have been a part of.
