What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on SOC/incident response role where I can lead threat detection, automate workflows, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable reductions in incident volume while growing into higher-impact security leadership.

I am a SOC Analyst with over five years of experience optimizing security operations, incident response, and threat intelligence to protect enterprise environments. I have led large-scale incident response efforts, developed playbooks and detection rules, and automated processes to improve SOC efficiency and reduce response times.

My work has improved detection accuracy, reduced incident volumes, and strengthened cloud and network security through hands-on threat hunting, malware analysis, and vulnerability management. I prioritize intelligence-driven security, collaboration with engineering teams, and continuous improvement to maintain resilient, compliant systems.
