At Expel, I led engineers optimizing Elasticsearch queries, cutting query response time by 30%. I also implemented backup and disaster recovery procedures and improved retention policies to balance storage costs with performance.

Previously at HunterLess, I analyzed logs and alerts, adjusted SOC rules including ElastAlert and Suricata, and conducted risk assessments. I built Elasticsearch index templates and ingest pipelines for company log data and network traffic analysis.
