What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on SOC/incident response role in a security-focused team where I can drive detection and response, work with modern SIEM/EDR/cloud tooling, mentor others, and support compliance and continuous improvement.

I am a Senior Security Analyst with eight years in IT and four years focused on cybersecurity, experienced in 24x7 SOC operations, real-time monitoring, and incident response using SIEM and EDR platforms.

I have hands-on expertise with IBM QRadar, Splunk, Azure Sentinel, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, Microsoft Defender ATP, Palo Alto firewalls, Proofpoint, Mimecast, Qualys, TrendMicro and McAfee, and I regularly perform threat hunting, log analysis, KQL queries and cloud security investigations across AWS services.

I prioritize compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, NIST), knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement, and I seek roles where I can drive faster detection, containment and remediation while mentoring SOC teams and enhancing security operations.
