CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Post-Baccalaureate in Cybersecurity with practical experience in network and application security, digital forensics, and incident response. I bring hands-on expertise with cloud platforms, SIEM, and vulnerability testing to strengthen security posture.
At Oodles Technologies I served as Security Analyst and Sr. Technical Support Engineer, acting as primary technical contact for clients, implementing network segmentation, IAM, firewall policies, and delivering cloud infrastructure projects using Azure Sentinel and AWS.
Earlier, I worked in SOC and middleware operations at Infosys, where I fine-tuned SIEM correlation rules, automated reporting to save manual effort, reduced recurring application issues, and maintained high SLA compliance while mentoring junior analysts.
I am committed to continuous learning and community engagement, demonstrated by TryHackMe achievements and digital forensics projects, and I pursue roles that let me apply technical depth to proactively reduce cyber risk.
