What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a SOC/security operations role where I can run alert triage, incident response, and threat hunting end-to-end, improve detections with tuning/automation, and partner cross-functionally on vulnerability management and cloud/IAM security.

I’m a cybersecurity professional with 4 years of experience across Security Operations, IT Security Consulting, incident response, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and cloud security. I monitor, analyze, and investigate security events across SIEM, EDR, endpoint, firewall, identity, and cloud environments.

I’m especially strong in alert triage, log correlation, threat detection, and incident documentation—validating alerts, determining severity, and distinguishing true positives from false positives. I’ve contributed to improved threat detection efficiency through rule tuning and alert optimization, and I support containment recommendations, escalation, and remediation tracking.

I also drive risk-based vulnerability assessment and security governance work aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. From threat hunting and incident timelines to IAM/Zero Trust controls and Python-driven automation, I work cross-functionally to improve security posture, reduce critical exposure, and support audit readiness with actionable recommendations.
