I've investigated malware, ransomware, brute-force activity, and C2 traffic in an incident-response lab using Splunk, Wireshark, and Tenable Nessus. Across 10+ simulated attack scenarios, I isolated suspicious processes, documented IOCs, and blocked C2 IPs identified through packet analysis.

I correlated Windows Event IDs 4624 and 4625 to investigate brute-force login activity and enforced MFA to close the access gap. I also remediated and verified 30+ vulnerabilities through credentialed Nessus scans.

Alongside security work, I completed data analyst internships with TCS ION and Unified Mentor Pvt Ltd., using SQL, Python, Pandas, NumPy, and Power BI to audit datasets, identify correlations, automate data cleaning, and deliver structured reports.

I built an Agentic AI Data Analyst Bot with Python, Streamlit, and the Gemini API to query raw security logs in natural language and automate Security Incident Report generation. I'm seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst or Security Analyst role where I can apply threat detection, incident response, and log-analysis skills in a production security environment.
