What I'm looking for

I am looking for a hands-on SOC role where I can apply SIEM and endpoint skills, work in 24×7 SOC/NOC shifts, contribute to faster detection and response, and grow in incident response and threat analysis.

I am a detail-oriented SOC Analyst (L1) with hands-on experience in continuous SIEM monitoring, alert triage, incident detection and initial response across 24×7 SOC/NOC environments.

I have practical experience with FortiSIEM, Microsoft Sentinel, SentinelOne EDR and supporting tooling, and I conduct log analysis from firewalls, servers, endpoints and network devices to detect anomalous activity and reduce MTTD.

I hold a B.Tech in Cyber Forensics and Information Security, CEH v13 and Digital Forensic Essentials certifications, and I focus on clear documentation, escalation handling, and improving SOC operations to support rapid threat mitigation.
