What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow in SOC operations, VAPT, threat intelligence, incident response, and Zero Trust security while contributing hands-on investigation, vulnerability assessment, and security monitoring skills.

At INNSPARK SOLUTIONS, I monitor SIEM systems, build correlation rules, optimize alert triggers, and investigate security incidents using alerts, logs, and forensic data. My containment and remediation efforts reduced incident impact on operations by up to 30%.

I've also assessed vulnerabilities and enumerated networks and web applications at ISAC FOUNDATION using Nessus, Nmap, and HTTPX. Through internships with Zscaler and Palo Alto Networks, I reviewed application security architectures and supported Zero Trust security solutions; I also built an OSINT platform and an AES password-encrypted image encoding tool.
