I am a Security Operations Analyst skilled in threat detection, incident response, and SIEM engineering.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Security Operations Analyst with hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and SIEM engineering across Microsoft Sentinel and ReliaQuest GreyMatter XDR. I use proactive threat hunting with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to identify lateral movement and advanced threats.
At Moneris, I manage end-to-end incident lifecycles—triage, severity classification, containment, root-cause analysis, and post-incident documentation—while tuning detections to reduce false positives and improve signal-to-noise. I also support Azure security operations (data collection rules, Arc integration, and Sentinel connectors) and onboard 5+ new log sources into Microsoft Sentinel to expand detection coverage.
I bring complementary endpoint administration and IT support experience from roles including Desktop Support Intern and Service Desk Technician Intern, including zero-trust aligned access work with Microsoft Intune and Entra ID. I’m security operations–minded, automation-focused (Python for SOC metrics and threat lookups), and grounded in certifications including CompTIA CySA+, Security+, and Microsoft SC-200.
