What I'm looking for

I’m looking to strengthen a mature SOC where I can lead advanced detection and incident response, automate playbooks, mentor analysts, and continuously improve security operations with strong governance and modern security platforms.

I’m a results-driven cybersecurity professional with over 6 years of experience across SOC operations, advanced threat detection, incident response, and enterprise security platform management. In my Tier 3 role, I act as the escalation point, lead forensic investigations to determine attack vectors and impact, and build predictive detection through threat intelligence-driven defense and proactive threat hunting.

I’ve designed and optimized SOC technologies across SIEM, EDR, SOAR, IDS/IPS, and threat intelligence platforms, including hands-on deployments and integrations such as FortiSIEM, FortiGate, Cymulate, Velotix, FlowSec, Validit AI, Wazuh SIEM/FIM, and Utimaco HSM-as-a-Service. I also bring technical support and project delivery experience—deploying security solutions, running PCI DSS scanning, supporting compliance evidence for ISO 27001/NDPR/PCI DSS, mentoring junior analysts, and continuously improving SOC maturity through playbook automation and SOPs.
