I am a SOC Analyst with three years of hands-on experience in monitoring, investigation, and response using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, and Qualys VMDR. I focus on SIEM/SOAR operations, vulnerability management, incident response, and Azure cloud security.

In my recent role supporting a Middle East client I served as the primary SOC contact for Sentinel, Defender, and Qualys VMDR operations, consistently meeting SLAs and receiving recognition from the client SOC manager for timely incident handling. Previously, I monitored and triaged incidents for a banking client, operated Tripwire for file integrity monitoring, managed Symantec DLP and Content Analysis, and performed McAfee ePO health checks.

I hold AZ-900 and AZ-500 Microsoft certifications and a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering; I seek roles where I can apply threat hunting, incident response, and cloud security skills to strengthen detection and remediation capabilities.
