## About

```text
At Accenture, I monitor and investigate security alerts in Azure Sentinel and IBM QRadar as part of a 24/7 SOC operation. I triage incidents across Azure AD, AWS, Office 365, and Syslog data sources.

I investigate phishing, malware, and ransomware alerts, validating indicators of compromise with threat intelligence sources. I also perform static and hybrid malware analysis and maintain IOC tracking.

I author KQL detection logic and design, build, and run SOAR playbooks to automate routine triage and response. I also led the creation of SIEM alert-handling SOPs and runbooks adopted by the wider SOC team.

My work also includes endpoint security investigations, vulnerability assessments with Tenable Nessus, and identity-related investigations. I’m looking to move into a dedicated L2 role with greater ownership of detection engineering and incident escalation.
