What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead SIEM/detection engineering, reduce noise and costs, and build automated SOC playbooks while growing in cloud and DFIR responsibilities within a collaborative, security-driven team.

I am a cybersecurity consultant focused on SIEM and detection engineering, with hands-on experience implementing Google SecOps (Chronicle), Microsoft Sentinel, and Elastic SIEM across enterprise environments.

I design MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection use cases, create automated SOC playbooks, and lead end-to-end detection engineering activities including retro-hunting, simulated attack validation, and continuous tuning.

I have reduced SIEM ingestion costs through advanced log filtering and selective source onboarding, and improved alert fidelity by tuning rules and suppressing low-confidence duplicates to reduce analyst fatigue.

I also have experience in DFIR, cloud security hardening (AWS, Azure), creating client-facing PoCs/SOWs, and collaborating with law enforcement for forensic investigations—always prioritizing measurable improvements in detection and operational efficiency.
