What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role where I can lead threat detection and incident response, work with cross-functional teams, and grow technical expertise in SIEM and digital forensics.

I am a detail-oriented cybersecurity analyst with over two years of hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and digital forensics. I have strengthened network defenses, optimized SIEM configurations, and implemented endpoint protection and access controls to reduce vulnerabilities.

I have conducted vulnerability assessments, automated backup and recovery procedures, and authored incident response playbooks and security procedures that improved resilience and reduced response times. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to deploy MFA, secure password policies, and security awareness training that lowered employee-related breaches.

My toolkit includes Splunk, Wireshark, Nessus, Metasploit, FortiGate, CrowdStrike Falcon, IBM QRadar, and both Windows and Linux security utilities. I hold a B.Tech in Cyber Security Science and a Diploma in Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking.
