What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative SOC role focused on incident response, threat hunting, and automation where I can improve detection, reduce MTTR, and strengthen security posture.

I am a results-driven SOC Analyst with four years of hands-on experience monitoring, analyzing, and responding to security threats across enterprise and OT environments. I specialize in intrusion detection, endpoint protection, SIEM-driven alerting, threat hunting, and automating repeatable incident-response tasks to reduce mean time to detect and respond.

At previous roles I implemented and managed perimeter and endpoint protections, conducted forensic and sandbox analysis, executed vulnerability scanning, and developed SOC playbooks and policies. I collaborate across teams to improve security posture, reduce false positives, and deliver actionable remediation guidance aligned with organizational goals.
