What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead incident response, threat hunting, cloud security, and detection engineering work where I can partner with engineering teams to improve security controls and response readiness.

I'm leading incident response operations, threat hunting, and cloud security at Jefferies across corporate, cloud, and product environments. I manage investigations from triage through containment, eradication, and recovery while supporting 24/7 SOC readiness.

I investigate incidents across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, endpoints, and networks, using log analysis, workload forensics, and identity compromise investigations to reconstruct attacker activity and determine blast radius.

Previously at Lumen Technologies, I executed incident response and threat hunting across more than 25 enterprise systems, partnered with engineering teams on product security incidents, and performed digital forensics, malware analysis, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments.

At TCS, I improved SOC detection and response by tuning Splunk and IBM QRadar rules, reducing false positives by 25%. I also built Python, PowerShell, and Bash automation that saved more than 20 engineering hours each month.
