What I'm looking for

I want to strengthen SOC monitoring, VAPT, and incident triage to proactively reduce cyber risk, improve system hardening and compliance, and deliver clear security reports that help operational stakeholders act quickly.

I’m a cybersecurity operations professional with hands-on experience in Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring and Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT). I currently support security event detection, threat hunting, and log analysis using IBM QRadar SIEM, with a strong focus on identifying indicators of compromise (IOCs).

I conduct vulnerability assessment and penetration testing with Nessus, OpenVAS, Burp Suite, Nmap, and Kali Linux—then validate findings and produce security reports and remediation recommendations. I support incident detection, triage, escalation, and remediation, working closely with technical teams to improve system hardening, compliance, and risk mitigation.

Beyond cybersecurity operations, I bring 6+ years of enterprise systems and business analysis experience, including administering mission-critical national security systems (API/PNR platforms). That background helps me understand risk in real business operations and translate technical security outcomes into actions stakeholders can implement.
