What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative SOC or security operations role focused on threat detection, incident response, SIEM tuning, and growth through hands-on challenges and continuous learning.

I am a cybersecurity analyst with 4+ years of Tier 2 SOC experience focused on threat detection, incident response, and security monitoring. I excel at handling high-volume alerts and reducing time-to-contain in fast-paced environments.

At my current role I monitor and analyze hundreds of daily events using SIEM platforms, investigate phishing and unauthorized access, and perform threat hunting aligned with MITRE ATT&CK. I have reduced false positives by 20% through tuning rules, parsers, and correlation logic.

My technical toolkit includes IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel, ELK Stack, Logpoint, Google Cloud Console, EDR tools, PowerShell, Wireshark, Sysmon, and OSQuery. I hold multiple industry certifications and maintain a personal SOC lab to validate detections and response workflows.

I collaborate closely with IT, NOC, and SOC teams to escalate incidents, implement remediation, and deliver executive-level reporting. I am committed to continuous improvement, practical risk reduction, and strengthening organizational security posture.
