What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a SOC-focused cybersecurity role where I can run threat detection and threat hunting, drive incident response to reduce MTTR, and continuously tune SIEM/EDR to lower false positives—while building playbooks and documentation for consistent outcomes.

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with 3+ years of experience in Security Operations Center (SOC) work, focusing on threat detection, incident response, and threat hunting. I monitor SIEM and EDR, perform alert triage, IOC analysis, and log investigation to identify and mitigate security threats, using Hunters AI and Alert Logic for monitoring and correlation.

I’ve improved security outcomes by reducing false positives by 30% through SIEM correlation rule tuning and cutting MTTR by 25% with stronger containment and remediation. I also investigated phishing using Abnormal Security and Mimecast (reducing endpoint compromises by 40%), enhanced identity security through Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection, and strengthened vulnerability management by prioritizing exploitable findings and validating remediation through to SLA compliance.
